Abstract
The specific gamma-ray dose constant represents the gamma effective dose rate due to a point source of unit activity of a given nuclide at 1 m. New tabulations of specific gamma-ray dose constants have been made using current gamma emission data from the SCALE 6.2.3 software package and International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 107, combined with the effective dose per fluence conversion coefficients (antero-posterior orientation) of International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 116. SCALE data cover 1,264 nuclides, and International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 107 data include 1,192 nuclides, with only 777 nuclides in common between the two sets.
