Genetic effects of acute and chronic irradiation with 14 MeV neutrons.
Male CBA mice were exposed to 14.5 MeV neutron, either in an acute (150 or 250 rad) or a chronic dose (250 rad) and the genetic effects of the irradiations were compared. No detectable difference in the rate of mutations existed between acute and chronic exposure, with these neutrons.
