A table is presented of calculated dose rates in water in Mrad/h at depths of 0.04 mm and 0.07 mm from surface contamination levels equal to the derived working limits (DWL) of 10/sup -3/ mu Ci/cm/sup 2/ for /sup 14/C and / sup 35/S and 10/sup -4/ mu Ci/cm/sup 2/ for /sup 32/P /sup 51 /Cr, /sup 57/Co / sup 58/Co, /sup 59/Fe, /sup 68/Ga, /sup 75/Se, /sup 87m/Sr /sup 99m/Tc, /sup 113m/ In, /sup 125/I, /sup 131/I, /sup 133/Xe, /sup 169/Yb, and /sup 198/Au. The total dose rates shown include contributions from /sup -/, BETA /sup +/ monoenergetic electrons, characteristic x rays, and gamma rays. The results are considered in the light of arguments for the basal cell layer of the skin being regarded as situated at a reduced depth of 3 to 5 mg/cm/sup 2/, assumming an epidermal density of 1.1 g/cm/sup 3/.
