Dear Radsafer,
I need to know the Half value layer (in lead) of Lu-177. I used the equation
for the mean attenuation coefficient on page 165 of the Rad health Handbook
(Revised edition) and determined the thickness of lead for 95% attenuation to be
2.74 mm. I am skeptical of this approach and/or my use of it.
Please send all correspondence to me.
Many Thanks!
