Re: RADSAFE digest 1009

Mr. Mure (and other RADSAFERS who might have a similar question), I most
often use the following sources for such information:

U.S. Department of Energy, External Dose Rate Conversion Factors for
Calculation of Dose to the Public, DOE/EH-0070, July 1988.

U.S. Department of Energy, Internal Dose Conversion Factors for Calculation
of Dose to the Public, DOE/EH-0071, July 1988.

Good Luck,
