Re: exposure rates for Am-Be sources

["Ron L. Kathren" <rkathren@beta.tricity.wsu.edu>]

The answer you seek is 2.2 x 10E6 n/s/Ci for a dose rate of 2.6 mrem/h 
per Ci at 1 m.  See Kathren, Health Phys. 29:143 (1975).  Also, Denham, 
Health Phys. 16:475 (1969); Nachtigall Heal;th Phys 13:213 (1967).  There 
is also an ANSI standard as well as many other references.
