Abstract

This review deals with a phenomenon of multigeneration carcinogenesis; the carcinogenic risk for offsprings of irradiated persons can be estimated as 4.10(-3) Sv-1. Though some epidemiological findings in this area are contradictory, multigeneration carcinogenesis may present a part of a population risk (genetic load). There is a need for recording the phenomenon in the normal ranges of radiation safety, i.e. to limit the planned irradiation of males aged 30-40 years, as well as females of the same age.
