Monica,
Duke Energy uses a self absorption factor of 1.3 based on:
Luetzelschawb, J. W., et. al., Self Absorption of Alpha and Beta Particles in a
Fiberglass Filter, Health Physics, October 2000, Volume 79, Number 4, Page 425
to 430

Subject: Powernet: Air sample alpha analysis
Diablo Canyon wants to know ..
What (if any) attenuation / transmission / self absorption factor is used for
alpha analysis of particulate air samples?
Any input will be appreciated!
