[A comparative assessment of the changes in absorbed neutron doses and in the frequency of chromosome aberrations in samples of human blood lymphocytes by the depth of the water phantom during irradiation by the biomedical BR-10 reactor beam].
Distribution of the chromosome aberration frequency in human blood lymphocyte samples and absorbed doses have been compared by the water phantom depth during irradiation with 1.5 Gy neutrons (mean energy of 0.85 MeV). There is a good concordance of their depth distribution. The half-fall layer of the absorbed dose within the tissue-equivalent medium is similar (approximately 5 cm) with both measurements done. The aberration frequency in the biological samples placed outside the radiation field in the phantom increases which indicates that the neutron been bounds are indistinct upon passing the tissue-equivalent medium.
