[edit] Question regrading organ dose weighting values

Does anyone know where the table of organ dose weighting factors comes from? It does not seem to be consistent with either ICRP-26 or ICRP-60. For example, ICRP-26 gives the factor for the gonads as 0.25 and ICRP reduces this to 0.20 but the table in the article gives a factor of just 0.08!In addition, the coefficients don't add up to 1, as they must! --PloniAlmoni (talk) 07:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
