Description

Californium-252, an isotope emitting neutrons, gamma photons and alpha particles, is being investigated for its practical use in intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy. A review of published RBE and OER values for californium neutrons as a function of dose rate for a variety of biological endpoints is given. (Auth.)
