RE: Dose coefficients - CD ROM

[Elizabeth Brackett <brackett@bright.net>]

There is a CD ROM expected to be published soon - I have a beta test
version of it from sometime last year.  Keith Eckerman has been involved
with it but he doesn't know when it will be published.  There's an update
to ICRP 54 (based on the new lung and metabolic models) and I think the CD
ROM might be issued in conjunction with it.
