Abstract: Abstract Calibrative densities for the unknown neutron dose Df of an individual accidentally exposed to high doses (>20 rad) of neutrons are derived. These densities incorporate prior dose information (e.g., from a dosimeter reading, or from dose reconstruction efforts), information from an in vitro calibration experiment with neutrons of the same energy, and information from the number of dicentric chromosome aberrations yf observed shortly (
