A formalism developed in the first paper in this series, based on the generalized Theory of Dual Radiation Action, is applied to survival data for cells exposed to soft X rays. It is shown that, in contrast to previous published analyses, this formalism, modified to account for the attenuation of dose across the sensitive matrix of the cell, is fully consistent with the experimental results. The reasons for previous disagreements are discussed.
