* To account for differences in LET when measuring the effect of radiation, each type of radiation has been assigned a radiation weighting factor (WR). This was done by measuring how much of each radiation type it took to produce the same biological effect as 200-keV X rays. As shown, all photons, beta particles, and electrons do the same amount of damage. Thermal neutrons do somewhat more damage, and fast neutrons and alpha particles are extremely damaging. Indeed, of the radiation types that we deal with, alpha particles and high-energy neutrons are the most damaging. * The unit of equivale
