Characteristics of secondary studies for nonhuman primates exposed to mixed neutron:gamma radiation included in the systematic review.

Source/Authors Sample size Radiation Source Exposure Geometry Dose Rate
Broerse et al. 1978 15 Mixed neutron:gamma; 300 kVp x-ray Rotational 28 rad min−1
8 rad min−1
Broerse and Zoetelief 1984 15 Mixed neutron:gamma; 300 kVp x-ray Rotational 28 rad min−1
8 rad min−1
Farese et al. 1993 5 Mixed neutron:gamma Posterior anterior pulse
Farese et al. 1994 5 Mixed neutron:gamma Posterior anterior pulse

All studies were published in the open literature or in government publications. Data published in abstracts was not included in the review. The secondary studies did not provide a complete dose response relationship (DRR) but did provide added value of multiple data points in support of the primary DRRs and dose range for high lethal, hematopoietic-acute radiation syndrome.
