total genetic effect on the population as the sum of the individual doses actually received. The GSD can be expressed algebraically as: GSD = _NiPi DJ = Average gonad dose to persons age i who received x-ray examinations NJ = Number of persons in population of age i who receive x-ray examinations Pi = Expected future number of children for person of age i Ni = number of persons in population of age i.
