Abstract：
:Extension of previous investigations at this laboratory regarding life shortening and tumor induction in the mouse has provided more complete dose-response information in the low dose region of X rays and neutrons. A complete observation of survival and late pathology has been carried out on over 2000 BC3F1 female mice irradiated with single doses of 1.5 MeV neutrons (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 cGy) and, for comparison, of X rays (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 cGy). Data analysis has shown that a significant life shortening is observable only for individual neutron doses not lower than 8 cGy. Nevertheless, assuming a linear nonthreshold form for the overall dose-effect relationships of both radiation qualities, an RBE value of 12.3 is obtained for the 1.5 MeV neutrons. The induction of solid tumors by neutrons becomes statistically significant at individual doses from 8 cGy and by X rays for doses larger than 1 Gy. Linear dependence on neutron dose appears adequate to interpret the data at low doses. A separate analysis of ovarian tumor induction substantiates the hypothesis of a threshold dose for the X rays, while this is not strictly needed to interpret the neutron data. A trend analysis conducted on the neoplasm incidence confirms the above findings. Death rates have been analyzed, and a general agreement between the shift to earlier times of these curves and tumor induction was found.
