Bob Dunn,
Cember's Introduction to Health Physics lists the following equations:
R= 412 E ^(1.265-0.0954 lnE)
for 0.01 <= E <= 2.5 MeV
ln E = 6.63-3.2376(10.2146-ln R)^1/2
for R <= 1200
R = 530E-106
for E > 2.5 MeV, R > 1200
where R = range, mg/cm^2
E = maximum beta-ray energy, MeV
Hope this helps and you have not gotten 8 million responses
