Re: I-125 gamma constant (correction)

     The previous response was incorrect .. the result should be .07 R/hr 
     at 1 m/Ci
     
     sorry about that!

The revised edition of "The Health Physics and Radiological Health
Handbook", edited by Shleien, copyright 1992, indicates that the specific
gamma ray dose constant for I-125 is 7.432-5 (mSv/h)/MBq (or 0.274 mR/hr per
mCi at 1 meter).  This is an order of magnitude greater than several other
references I have.  Does anyone know of any errata issued for this handbook?
