SOME PROPERTIES OF REPARABLE AND IRREPARABLE RADIATION INJURY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4840660
Data on mice exposed to protracted equal daily dosage or continuous dosage of external ionizing radiation are analyzed in terms of the reparable and irreparable components of the injury. It is concluded that recovery rate, at a given rate of exposure, does not change with duration of exposure. The irreparable fraction of the injury is greater, however, at the higher than at the lower daily dose rates in the range from 50 to 10 r per day. The results suggest that the irreparable fraction of radiation injury may continue to decrease as the daily dose rate becomes smaller. (auth)
