RBE of spleen CFU-S to low dose rate Cf-252 or photon radiation in vivo. 1983

Y Maruyama, and C Nava, and J Feola, and J L Beach, and H N Hwang, and A Williams

The biological effects of low dose rate (LDR) Cf-252 radiation were compared to LDR Cs-137 photon radiation and acute 60Co radiation. The RBEn for endogenous CFU-S in vivo was 2.1 for neutron radiation at a dose rate of 9.9 cGy/hr of Cf-252 radiation. The value was consistent with previous in vitro experiments where a value of 2.1 was found. For the low doses and low dose rates studied, we tested an acute assay dose following the LDR irradiation to determine dose-effect and RBEn. Organ size shrinkage and regeneration patterns after LDR Cf-252 and Cs-137 were also studied and showed greater growth delay for Cf-252 irradiated lympho-hemopoietic tissues.

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
