为研究低剂量率辐照对家蚕生长的影响，将家蚕卵随机分为2组，分别在低剂量辐照片和对照片上生长。在辐射发射片上，用盖革-穆勒计数器测量α、β和γ射线的剂量率为66.0 (4.3)μ Sv/h（平均[标准差]），用测量仪测量γ射线的剂量率为3.8 (0.3)μ Sv/h。实验开始后的第42天至第49天，蚕的体重增加了约25%至37%。连续低剂量率照射对家蚕生长有促进作用。这一现象是否可以被丝绸工业利用，还有待进一步研究。
To investigate the influence of low-dose-rate irradiation on the growth of silkworms, Bombyx mori, eggs of silkworms were randomly divided into 2 groups and were grown on either low-dose-radiation-emitting sheets or control sheets. On the radiation-emitting sheets, the dose rate was measured as 66.0 (4.3) mu Sv/h (mean [standard deviation]) by a Geiger-Muller counter for alpha, beta, and gamma rays and 3.8 (0.3) mu Sv/h by a survey meter for gamma rays. The silkworms became larger when bred on the radiation-emitting sheets, and their body weight was about 25% to 37% heavier on day 42 to 49 after starting the experiment. Continuous low-dose-rate irradiation promoted the growth of silkworms. It should be further investigated whether this phenomenon could be utilized by the silk industry.
