    Journal: Arkh Patol; 2000; 62(4):27-31. PubMed ID: 10971870.
    Abstract:
    41 testes of males who died after living 7-9 years in Kaluga region contaminated with radionuclides after the Chernobyl accident (1-5 and higher Ci/km2) were studied morphologically. Various alterations were found in 75.6% of the cases. All the testes contained Cs-137 (11-45 Bq/kg). The correlation between the radionuclide content and level of radiation pollution was lacking. Maximal content of Cs-137 was in testicular tissue of boys (45 Bq/kg).
