Abstract
An annual dose rate has been calculated, using recently evaluated particle energy and branching ratio values for known concentrations of potassium, rubidium, and the uranium and thorium decay chains; these results are presented and compared to the calculation of Bell. The purpose of this report is to provide tabulations of decay data and dose rate calculations that are necessary for thermoluminescence dating. An effort has been made to collect the latest evaluated data and to catalog them in a form that is easily accessible, so that they may be updated as new revised values are reported.
