| Abstract: | Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) coefficient of 0.85 MeV neutrons was 1.87 in comparison with 0.66 MeV gamma radiation (137Cs) when estimated by the death rate of guinea pigs with intestinal form of radiation sickness. LD50/5 was 5.9 and 11.06 respectively. Features of the mortality rate dynamics, clinical picture and pathoanatomical changes are discussed. |
