Followup: The "H" term in dose equations



     As stated in ICRP 26 " The dose equivalent, H, at a point in tissue, 
     is given by the equation H=DQN.
     
     So, as stated previoulsy, it is the term for dose equivalent.

What is the "H" in dose equations short for?
     
Thanks to anyone who can answer.
