Re: Neutron dose factor, comments

[Mike McNaughton <mcnaught@lanl.gov>]

Thank you, Les, for your detailed response on neutron dose calculations.
Are you familiar with the calculations of Leuthold, which drive ICRP60?
(see ICRP page 85.) In particular, what causes Q to be the same, near 100
keV, as the Q for alpha particles? Does this mean the dose from (n,g) is
negligible near 100 keV?
