Federal Guidance Report No.12 prepared by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
for the Environmental Protection Agency has the dose coefficients you need.
The dose coefficients are also available as ASCII files from the Radiation
Shielding Information Center (RSIC) at ORNL.  The name and title of the data
library package are DLC-167/FGR-DOSE, Dose Coefficients from Federal
Guidance Reports 11 and 12.  Requests must include the name of the package
and should be addressed to:
