THE CONSTANCY OF REPAIR RATE AND OF IRREPARABILITY DURING PROTRACTED EXPOSURE TO IONIZING RADIATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4750055
Data on protracted exposure of mice to ionizing radiation at various constant daily rates are analysed with respect to the question of whether recovery rate per unit of injury and the irreparable component of injury per unit dose are dependent upon the rate and duration of exposure. It is concluded that recovery rate does not depend on dose rate or duration of exposure. Irreparability, however, in one set of data is greater at high dose rate than at low, while in the other it is independent of dose rate. Since the latter effect is simpler it is concluded that it is probably the more general. (auth)
