1. Background In 1982 Hill et al. reported that extended exposures of fission-spectrum neutrons, produced by the JANUS reactor at the Argonne National Laboratory USA, neoplastically transformed C3H 10TI/2 cells more efficiently than equivalent doses delivered in a brief exposure. For the dose range and dose rates that were used it was also reported that the survival of 1OT1/2 cells did not change. In 1984 Hill et al. added to their original report by describing in greater detail the shapes of the transformation induction curves following low doses delivered at high and low dose-rates. This second report attracted the attention of a number of researchers and gave rise to a series of Letters to the Editor (Barendsen 1985, Rossi and Kellerer 1986, Burch and Chesters 1986). In due course replies to each of these Letters were published (Elkind and Hill 1985, 1986a, b). Since the reports of Hill et al.(1982, 1984 a), some of the further studies with cells in culture confirmed an enhanced transformtion frequency due to protracted exposures to fission-spectrum neutrons and others did not. Hill et al.(1985) found that five equal fractions of high-dose-rate fission-spectrum neutrons, delivered over a 4-day period, resulted in transformation frequencies of 10TI/2 cells consistent with the results with low dose-rates that had been reported earlier; Jones et al.(1989) obtained similar results with Syrian hamster embryo cells; and Redpath et al.(1990 a, b) also observed enhanced transformation with a human-cell hybrid. In all of the latter three studies JANUS fission-spectrum neutrons were used, but in each case different endpoints were employed. Focus formation in a sheet of growth-arrested cells was used by Hill et al., transformed colonial morphology was employed by Jones et al., and the induction of a tumour-associated cell-surface antigen was the indicator of phenotypic change used by Redpath et al. Thus, with the same source of neutrons, three different endpoints yielded qualitatively similar results.Two studies clearly did not reveal an enhanced frequency of transformation. These were those of Hieber et al.(1987), and Balcer-Kubiczek et al.(1988). In both instances 10T1/2 cells were used; however, Hieber et al. irradiated with a-particles from"" Am, and Balcer-Kubiczek et al. employed the fission-spectrum neutrons produced by the TRIGA reactor at the Armed Forces Radiobiological Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. The use of different sources of'high-LET'particles raised the possibility that the non-confirmatory results of these two studies could be due primarily to differences in the qualities of the radiations although, as noted below, other technical considerations may also have played a role.
