Description

The induction of chromosome aberrations, micronuclei and sister-chromatid exchanges in human G0 lymphocytes by 24-keV epithermal neutrons has been measured. Positive linear dose responses were obtained for the 3 end points, with a tendency to saturation at higher dose for SCE production. In all cases, the responses to 24-keV neutrons were characteristic of high-LET radiations. (author). 17 refs.; 2 figs.; 2 tabs
