Induction of dicentric chromosomes by 192 MeV neutronsR. NolteThe production of dicentric chromosomes in human lymphocytes by high-energy neutron radiation was studied at the neutron beam facility of iThemba Laboratory using a quasimonoenergetic 192 MeV neutron beam. The linear yield coefficient of the linear dose-response relationship for dicentric chromosomes was measured to be (0.096 ± 0.020) Gy -1. This confirms our earlier observations that the yield of dicentric chromosomes decreases with increasing ne… Show more
