Purpose: In order to study the FLASH effect using live models, this work compared proton-induced damage to embryos (nine days after fertilization) and one-day-old chicks (18 days after fertilization) from irradiated at different dose rates eggs of Japanese quail ().
Materials And Methods: Eggs were irradiated with protons in different modes depending on the dose rate: in a conventional mode (<1 Gy/s, CONV), in a flash mode (∼100 Gy/s, FLASH) and in a single-pulse flash mode (∼10 Gy/s SPLASH).
Results: By the criteria of body weight and length, as well as the number of erythrocytes with micronuclei in nine-day-old embryos from eggs irradiated in the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) (8.
