     Paul,

     Addendum to earlier message.  The dose equivalent rate from your
     source will be also a function of the facility in which it is used and
     the distance at which 'stuff' is irradiated (room return.)  A careful
     study is required, but the protocol is described by Schwartz, et. al.
     I think in an old NUREG or NIST document.  At any rate, Bob Schwartz,
     NIST can help (301-975-6203.)
