Abstract excerpt
CHO cells were exposed to thermal neutrons and their mutation frequency was determined. The Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR), which has a very low level of contamination by gamma-rays and fast neutrons was used as a thermal neutron source. Cells were irradiated in the presence or absence of boric acid to determine mutation frequency and cell survival. Thermal neutron irradiation was 2.5 times as mutagenic...
