RE: 33P/166Ho Skin Dose Factors

["Falo, Gerald A Dr HMJF" <Gerald.Falo@APG.AMEDD.ARMY.MIL>]

Ted,

 

According to "The Radionuclide and Radiation Protection Data Handbook 1998" the skin doses from P-33 are 8.6E-1 mSv/h per 1 kBq/cm2 for a uniform deposit and 1.4E-1 mSv/h for a 0.05 ml droplet (1 kBq). Ho-166 isn't in the text; however,  I believe there is a second edition of the book that may have it. The handbook was released as Radiation Protection Dosimetry V76, Nos. 1 and 2.

 

Sorry that I don't have the Ho-166 numbers for you.

 

Jerry
