Abstract: BACKGROUND & ATM: To follow late effects of a victim in a radiation injury accident and observe cytogenetic characteristics of a continual irradiation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Conventional chromosomal aberrations and G-banded kayrotype analysis. RESULTS: There are little decline in dicentrics. Stable aberrations such as translocations play dominant role in total aberration frequency of 26 %. Clonal aberrations are not yet observed. CONCLUTION: There are more severe cytogenetic damage and slower repair in continual exposure to radiation than in single irradiation.

Key words: continual exposure, chromosomal aberrations, translocation, late radiation effect
