Author’s notes Over my career in health physics starting with a US Army CBR unit at Dugway Proving Grounds in 1965 I have needed to quickly find that elusive data point that I just couldn’t remember, even though I knew the information was in one of my several hundred reference books. So, here it is today, the product of my work to assemble useful field information from a wide range of sources. I must give credit to those individuals who put their efforts into creating the original data. Without their work, this document could not have been assembled. My family has given me their unlimited support in my development of this reference book and in my projects all through my career. Sandy my wife of 30 some years and our two daughters Susan and Sarah and their excellent husbands, Bill Gilson and Rolfe Bergstrom, our son-in-laws, continue to provide me with a steady foundation that allows me to try out new concepts.
