The main findings are: i) the curves for the kinetics of restitution of DSBs are mostly independent of dose; ii) the fraction of unrepaired breaks increases with the linear energy transfer (LET) of the incident radiation; iii) the simulated dose-response curves for simple reciprocal chromosome exchanges that are linear-quadratic; iv) the alpha coefficient of the dose-response curve peaks at about 100 keV/µm.
