Re: Measuring Cosmic Radiation

[John Jacobus <crispy_bird@YAHOO.COM>]

Off the top of my head, I would check out 



NCRP Report 142 "Operational Radiation Safety Program

for Astronauts in Low-Earth Orbit: A Basic Framework"

(2002) 



NCRP Report 137 "Fluence-Based and Microdosimetric

Event-Based Methods for Radiation Protection in Space"

(2001)



at http://www.ncrp.com/ncrprpts.html



A better reference might be 



Cosmic Radiation Exposure of Airline Crews, Passengers

and Astronauts, Proceedings of the Thirty-Fourth

Annual Meeting held April 1-2, 1998

Published in Health Phys. 79, 466-613 (November 2000)
