Abstract: In radiation-induced mammalian injury, chromosomal aberration is one of the main indicators. Tritiated water has strong effect of inducing chromosomal aberrations. The toxicological properties of tritiated water, and the research progress on micronuclei and chromosome aberrations caused by radiation damage of mammals, cell lines and human isolated cells induced by it, is reviewed.

Key words: Tritiated Water, Peripheral blood lymphocytes, Chromosome Aberrations
