Tritiated water

Tritiated water decreases age at mammary fibroadenoma onset in rats.

“The mean age for mammary fibroadenoma onset decreased with an increasing dose of radiation.”

Tritiated water shortens lifespan in rats (Postexposure lifespan reduced by 14%, 24%, and 22% at 66, 330, and 660 rads, respectively).

“Postexposure life-spans for dams chronically exposed to 66, 330, and 660 rads during pregnancy were reduced by 14, 24, and 22%, respectively.”

Tritiated water increases mammary fibroadenoma incidence in rats.

“Throughout their life-spans and at autopsy, the dams showed an increased incidence of mammary fibroadenomas at exposure to 330 and 660 rads.”
