RADIATION WEIGHTING FACTORS (ICRP 60)<br />

2<br />

Type <strong>and</strong> Energy Range Radiation Weighting Factor, W R<br />

Photons, all energies 1<br />

3<br />

Electrons <strong>and</strong> muons, all energies 1<br />

Neutrons, 20 MeV 5<br />

Protons, other than recoil protons, energy > 2MeV 5<br />

Alpha particles, fission fragments, heavy nuclei 20<br />

1<br />

All values relate to the radiation incident on the body or, for<br />

internal sources, emitted from the source.<br />

2<br />

The choice of values for other radiation is discussed in Annex<br />

A of Publication 60.<br />

3<br />

Excluding Auger electrons emitted from nuclei bound to DNA<br />
