Re: ??? Mass Atten Coef

Bruce, 

        I think that the Hubbell tables are probably the best for that job.
The guys at ORNL will probably know if there is a more current set of
tables.  I don't think that the mass attenuation coefficient values will
change significantly even if the tables have been updated since 1982.
