Yarkovsky-Radzievskij effect exceeds the Poynting-Robertson effect in the perturbing action on particles larger than 100 μm. We obtained formulae for averaged changes in a meteoroid's Keplerian orbital elements and used them to estimate dispersion in the Geminid meteoroid stream. It was found that dispersion in semi-major axis of the model shower increased nearly three times on condition that meteoroids rotation is fast, and the rotation axis is stable.
