Etiolated bean leaves have been irradiated in an experimental cavity of a nuclear reactor. The greening is allowed either under continuous light or under intermittent light. A relationship between the decrease of the chlorophyll accumulation and the exposure dose is observed; moreover, the accumulation of chlorophyll b is more strongly decreased than the accumulation of chlorophyll a , by irradiation. A recovery phenomenon of the chlorophyll accumulation has been observed.
