And the arm is connected to the thorax and the persons arm may have been in 
close proximity to the Abdomen.  I haven't seen a particle that hot to increase 
the complexity of my calcs.  The tools I have also wouldn't permit me to assess 
risk to other compartments.

Subject: Powernet: Using EDE calculation for Deep Dose assigned from Hot 
Particles

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!
