progeny nuclides and ALI/DAC

["Andrew Karam" <akaram@safety.rochester.edu>]

Dear Radsafers -

Can anyone tell me if dose from progeny nuclides are included in the FGR 11
ALI and DAC numbers?  I am going through some Ra-226 calculations and would
like to know if these must be repeated for each downstream nuclide.  I have
looked through the introductory matter in FGR 11 and have also looked
through ICRP 30 but have been unable to make this determination.  

If the information is there and I have just missed it, please accept my
apologies in advance.

Sincerely,

Andy
