Duke Energy is curious if anyone uses the compartment factors from Reg Guide 8.40 for EDEx when calculating deep dose that may be assigned from a hot particle. For example, the 0.005 weighting factor is used to take credit in the deep dose calculation if the hot particle is located on the arm. Thanks!
