From inspection of Fqs.17-32,17-33,and 17-34 it is apparent that
dose rate ratios required in Fq.l’-3 to evaluate the shielding factor
have the following equivalences:

The evaluation of the integrals of Eq. 17-35 for all the energies in the
source spectra would be an extremely lengthy task, even when machinecommited.

Therefore, the actual spectra have been replaced with

pseudospectra, as described in 17.55. f&valuation of the ratios cf
Eq. 17-% has been carried out for the five gamma-ray energies of the
pseudospectra, for various distances below the slab, and for slab
thicknesses of 0 to 10 inches. Results are presented graphically in
Ref. 71.
Note that Ref.71 uses the following symbols:
