Here's the additional information I promised on neutron spectra.  The ICRU 
report is ICRU 10b, "Physical Aspects of Irradiation", also known as National 
Bureau of Standards Handbook 85.  I believe that it's still available from the 
ICRU. 
The Amersham/Searle report is Technical bulletin 76/7, "Neutron Sources:  
Americiem-241/Beryllium and Californium 252."  I suggest calling Amersham to 
see if it's still available.  The latest number I have is 800-323-9750.  Their 
US office is in Arlington Heights, IL.

There's an old ICRU report; I'll look it up.  Also, Amersham published an
informational pamphlet comparing the spectra from various neutron sources.
 I'll see if I can find it.
