Summary

Tables of calculated kerma factors for neutrons, being prepared for an ICRU report on Neutron Dosimetry for Biology and Medicine, are discussed. The philosophy and limitations of the calculations, some of the problems encountered, and new experimental and theoretical information needed to improve the knowledge of energy transfer to matter are covered. The tables cover the energy range from thermal to 30 MeV and will appear in the ICRU report. (GHT)
