We have investigated the effect of fission-spectrum neutron dose fractionation on neoplastic transformation of exponentially growing C3H 10T1/2 cells. Total doses of 10.8, 27, 54, and 108 cGy were given in single doses or in five equal fractions delivered at 24-h intervals in the biological channel of the RSV-TAPIRO reactor at CRE-Casaccia. Both cell inactivation and neoplastic transformation were more effectively induced by fission neutrons than by 250-kVp X rays. No significant effect on cell survival or neoplastic transformation was observed with split doses compared to single doses of fission-spectrum neutrons. Neutron RBE values relative to X rays determined from data for survival and neoplastic transformation were comparable.

D009502 Neutrons Electrically neutral elementary particles found in all atomic nuclei except light hydrogen; the mass is equal to that of the proton and electron combined and they are unstable when isolated from the nucleus, undergoing beta decay. Slow, thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons refer to the energy levels with which the neutrons are ejected from heavier nuclei during their decay. Neutron
D009680 Nuclear Fission Nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of a heavy atom such as uranium or plutonium is split into two approximately equal parts by a neutron, charged particle, or photon. Fission, Nuclear,Fissions, Nuclear,Nuclear Fissions
D009688 Nuclear Reactors Devices containing fissionable material in sufficient quantity and so arranged as to be capable of maintaining a controlled, self-sustaining NUCLEAR FISSION chain reaction. They are also known as atomic piles, atomic reactors, fission reactors, and nuclear piles, although such names are deprecated.
