Genetic or hereditary effects are radiation induced mutations to an individual’s genes and DNA that can contribute to the birth of defective

These effects are known to be caused by …. Genetic effects of ionizing radiation in the progeny of exposed parents could be conventionally subdivided on three main types. 1.

Cancer risk is usually mentioned as the main stochastic effect of ionizing radiation, but also hereditary disorders are stochastic effects. According to ICRP: (83) On the basis of these calculations the Commission proposes nominal probability coefficients for detriment-adjusted cancer risk as 5.5 x 10-2 Sv-1 for the whole population and 4.1 x 10-2 Sv-1 ...
