View source for High linear energy transfer radiation

[[File:Glossary Icon-2.png|100px|frameless|right|link=ICRP Glossary]]
Radiation with capacity, by its own or by the secondary radiations it generates, of linear energy transfer higher than around 10 keV μm<sup>-1</sup>. Normally high LET radiation is assumed to include protons, neutrons and alpha particles (or other particles of similar or greater mass) except for protons having energies greater than around 4 MeV.
