Set the pairwise damage interaction rate (ETA=)
CLRP: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:
    CLRP: ETA={pairwise damage interaction rate (h-1)}
Example:
    CLRP: ETA=2.5E-04      !LPL, RMR, and TLK models


Purpose: Set the pairwise damage interaction rate
Data Type: real number
Unit:
(
h-1)
Default: 1.0E-04
Comments: The pairwise damage interaction process, also referred to as binary misrepair, always produces a mutation (mainly exchange-type chromosome aberrations).  Fraction GAM of these chromosome aberrations are lethal.  Sachs et al. argued that roughly 1/4 of the chromosome aberrations formed through the pairwise interaction process are lethal (i.e., GAM=0.25).
