When the age-adjusted frequencies of dicentric and ring chromosomes were compared with the dose calibration curve established in vitro for 60Co gamma-rays as a reference radiation, a significant correlation was observed between the chromosomally estimated doses and the documented doses evaluated by physical means. The regression coefficient of the chromosomal doses against the documented doses, 1.47+/-0.33, indicates that the relative biological effectiveness of fission neutrons at low doses is considerably higher than that currently adopted in the radiation protection standard.}, pages = {S107--S116}, title = {Chromosome Aberration Analysis in Persons Exposed to Low-level Radiation from the JCO Criticality Accident in Tokai-mura}, volume = {42}, year = {2001} }
