title: Neutron dosimetric quantities for several radioisotopic neutron sources.
abstract: The fluence-weighted and dose equivalent-weighted average energies, and the spectrum-averaged fluence-to-dose equivalent conversion factors have been calculated for 52 spectrum variations of 20 different radioisotopic neutron sources. An internally consistent method of determination enables comparison of values for different spectra. The methodology and results are presented.
