Modelling of aircrew radiation exposure from galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events.
Correlations have been developed for implementation into the semi-empirical Predictive Code for Aircrew Radiation Exposure (PCAIRE) to account for effects of extremum conditions of solar modulation and low altitude based on transport code calculations. An improved solar modulation model, as proposed by NASA, has been further adopted to interpolate between the bounding correlations for solar mod...

متن کاملGalactic and solar radiation exposure to aircrew during a solar cycle.
An on-going investigation using a tissue-equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) has been carried out to measure the ambient dose equivalent rate of the cosmic radiation exposure of aircrew during a solar cycle. A semi-empirical model has been derived from these data to allow for the interpolation of the dose rate for any global position. The model has been extended to an altitude of up to 32 km...
متن کاملAircrew exposure from cosmic radiation on commercial airline routes.
As a result of the recent recommendations of the ICRP 60, and in anticipation of possible regulation on occupational exposure of Canadian-based aircrew, an extensive study was carried out by the Royal Military College of Canada over a one-year period to measure the cosmic radiation at commercial jet altitudes. A tissue-equivalent proportional counter was used to measure the ambient total dose e...
متن کاملTheoretical Assessment of Aircrew Exposure to Galactic Cosmic Radiation Using the FLUKA Monte Carlo Code
Following the publication of the ICRP 1990 recommendations, the need to assess the dose received by aircrew and frequent flyers during air travel has arisen. The ICRP stated that exposure of aircrew to cosmic radiation should be considered as occupational exposure. Several countries have already implemented the ICRP recommendations. Due to the wide range of particles and energies at aircraft fl...
