Abstract excerpt

We have examined the neutron energy dependency of cell killing and mutation induction at the hprt locus in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Monoenergetic neutrons at 0.32, 0.57, and 1.2 MeV were generated at the Hiroshima University Radiobiological Research Accelerator (HIRRAC) Facility, and were used to irradiate cells. The variation in RBE with neutron energy for the end points of cell survival and hprt mutation...
