Abstract
Model tests were performed to gain further information on the mechanism for inducing malignancies by ionizing radiation. Precise variation of the physical parameters of grid irradiations made a separate study of particular test conditions feasible. Barley seeds were sown in dry and in wet soils and they were exposed to grid and to open-field radiations of varying dose; the different effects were measured at different times. Macroscopic migration is supposed. Such migration might be appropriate to explain the differences found between the biological effects of open-field and grid irradiations in man.
