Re: bremsstrahlung dose rate off off beta emitters

[photcoef <photcoef@tiac.net>]

The generation of bremsstrahlung by beta emitters, as well as the dose
deposited by this radiation can be calculated by PHOTCOEF (www.photcoef.com).
Once the bremsstahlung spectrum is calculated, shielding calculations can
also be performed with PHOTCOEF.
For examples, look up "internal sources" at (www.photcoef.com/2162.html).
