Dose fractionation

 * "The effect of dose fractionation or a low dose rate is difficult to evaluate because there is no major study with appreciable intrastudy variation in dose rate/fractionation.", a small number of studies suggest small effects (fractionation would not decrease effects substantially), this concerns thyroid cancers from idodine in children.
