RBE and OER were determined for LSA tumor by survival time assay. The RBE/sub n/ of Cf vs. Cs-137 was 5.8 and the OER was --1.4 by experiments performed in vitro and assayed in vivo. When tumor was irradiated in an advanced state in the living mouse, the RBE/sub n/ was determined to be 5.2 vs. Cs-137. The RBE for hypoxic tumor is larger than for the oxic tumor for Cf-252 neutron irradiation.
