Kim, you might try ICRU 13 "Neutron fluence, neutron spectra and kerma".

Brodsky gives a spectrum taken from this report on p492 of his "Handbook of
radiation Measurement and protection" (section A, vol 1).

As Alex said, Amersham can make available spectra for all their sources,
but I dont know if they ever made a Pu Be source.
