Re: specific activity

Hi Mina,

WHAT(6) is just a number by which the final score is divided.
It can be the volume of the region, or its mass, or whatever you like.
What is important, is that you know what you put there, and interpret the
results accordingly. I have used it sometimes to do the normalization
to the actual source intensity. These are all things that you can do
also by letting WHAT(6)=1 and doing the normalization by hand.
