Welcome to the repo for the paper Exposure Rate Constants and Lead Shielding Values for over 1100 Radionuclides by David Smith and Michael Stabin, 2012, Health Phys., 102(3): 271-291. This site is intended to provide a version-controlled repository for the data and codes used to generate it, as well as to provide updates to the code, bug fixes, and errata.
The Matlab source code used to generate the published and corrected
data is in src/.
The reference (correct) version of Table 1 is located in
results/table1.csv.
Errata: A few of the Mayneord f-factors in the published version of Table 1 are incorrect. Due to a bug in the Matlab code, a few values were incorrectly output as 0.876 instead of the correct value. If you are interested in a nuclide and the f-factor is listed as 0.876, please consult either
results/table1.csv, or- the corrected ArXiv version of the manuscript: [LINK]
Note: Our published exposure rate constants have been challenged through private correspondence many times since publication, and to date no errors have been found in our exposure rate constants, so we believe these to be the best available values, within the limits of the ICRP107 decay data.
