Abstrakt: Strontium-90, entering the maternal body of rats, passes to the fetus through the placenta. This phenomenon intensifies with the development of ossification processes in the embryo and is in direct proportion to the embryo's weight. It decreases with the progress of time lapse following the isotope administration. Radiation doses received by the embryo during intrauterine development are sufficiently high to be fraught with the hazard of essential developmental disturbances.
