[The RBE of 0.85 MeV neutrons on guinea pig mortality]
Abstract:
A comparative study was made of the death rate of guinea pigs after neutron (0.85 MeV) and 137Cs-gamma-radiation (0.66 MeV); LD50/30 were 1.58 and 3.44 Gy respectively. CRBE of neutrons was 2.2 as determined by median lethal dose values for guinea pigs.
