Dear colleagues I need to prepare an information, please, who can confirm
the below data:

Approximate dose rate to the hand for I Curie of Cs-137 (see note 1):
Surface Dose Rate 513 R/min, Dose Rate at 1 cm tissue depth 28 R/min,  Dose
Rate at 3 cm  tissue depth 3.7 R/min. For the purpose of calculations the
activity is considered to be a point source and Industrial source housing
are usually for stainless steel, outside diameter ¼ inch, with a wall of
1/32 inch thick,  source considered point source.
