[ RadSafe ] formula and its derivation for rectangular extendedradioa...

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

I know this is rather old school, but if the source really exists, and
there are actually people who do things near it, how about a
"tag-and-release" dosimetry program?  Sometimes a day of measurement can
replace a week of modeling.

Micro shield tm  works also.
