Hall is now in edition 4.  Its appropriate for your use if you skip some of 
the more therapy-oriented chapters (its not cheap).

We supplement it with BEIR V (cheap, but not durable, as a paperback), because 
I don't think Hall says enough about mutagenesis, carcinogenesis or fetal 
effects.

There is a new Hendee coming out soon:
WR Hendee (ed): Health effects of exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.  
American Institute of Physics.

Some of it is quite good [particularly the cell/tissue radiobiology chapter 
(:], but I haven't seen all of it.
