FACTORS AFFECTING THE RELATIVE BIOLOGICAL EFFICIENCIES OF IONIZING RADIATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4288312
A survey is presented of the available RBE data, both on plants and animals, and all the important and known biological effects studied so far. It is suggested that while assessing the relative biological hazards of ionizing radiations on the human population in general and calculating the maximum permissible dose, the effects of various factors influencing the efficiency of an irradiation should be most carefully analyzed and critically examined.
