Hi all,

Sometimes I dabble in simple radiation shielding calculations, where I use 
Microshield. I like to check if my models give me a reasonable result, and 
to do that I feel a need for tables with dose build-up factors. To only 
use attenuation factors is not good enough at all.

I want to ask if you are aware of any freely accessible good compilations 
of tables! For different energies, materials and so on. I have looked 
around a bit but only find ANSI/ANS factors in publications that are for 
sale.

All the best,
Mattias Olsson, Sweden
