Abstract

Cytogenetic and hematological analysis was performed in peripheral blood from the cattle associated with abnormal delivery around nuclear power plant area. The frequency of micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood lymphocytes from cattle was used as a biomarker of radiobiological effects resulting from exposure to environmental radiation. An estimated dose of radiation was calculated by best fitting linear-quadratic model based on the radiation-induced MN data over the range from 0 Gy to 4 Gy from the bovine lymphocytes with in vitro irradiation. MN rates in live malformed calf, dams of malformed calves and other cattle living in the same barn from the regions around nuclear power plant, and cattle in control area were 9/1000, 10.8/1000, 13.3/1000 and 10.0/1000, respectively. There were no significant differences in MN frequencies and hematological values between the cattle associated with abnormal delivery around nuclear power plant area and those of control area. This study indicates that the congenital abnormalities near nuclear power plant seemed to be caused by other aetiology.
