Abstract

The authors report oxygen enhancement ratio measurements for protracted irradiation of human cancer cells in culture, using 252Cf neutron sources. Values of 1.3 were found, which are lower than those usually obtained for acute neutron irradiation. The poor survival of unirradiated anoxic control cells indicates the possibility that low values obtained under protracted irradiation may be a result of the combination of anoxia and irradiation.
