Personal dose-equivalent conversion coefficients for 1252 radionuclides

Effective dose conversion coefficients for radionuclides exponentially distributed in the ground

In order to provide fundamental data required for dose evaluation due to environmental exposures, effective dose conversion coefficients, that is, the effective dose rate per unit activity per unit area, were calculated for a number of potentially important radionuclides, assuming an exponential distribution in ground, over a wide range of relaxation depths. The conversion coefficients were cal...

Dose Coefficients for Radionuclides Produced in a Spallation Neutron Source

Dose coefficients for intakes of radionuclides via contaminated wounds.

The NCRP Wound Model, which describes the retention of selected radionuclides at the site of a contaminated wound and their uptake into the transfer compartment, has been combined with the ICRP element-specific systemic models for those radionuclides to derive dose coefficients for intakes via contaminated wounds. These coefficients can be used to generate derived regulatory guidance (i.e., the...

Calculation of airkerma conversion factor to personal dose equivalent at various depths using the Monte Carlo Code GATE

Several studies have been done with the aim of improving the quality of the radiation protection measurement in radiology and nuclear medicine. Among  different subjects which are capable to be considered in this area, the measurement of the operational quantities of protection against the radiation ,such as, personal dose equivalent ,HP(d), at different depths (d=0.07mm, 3mm, 10mm) is an impor...

Radon progeny dose conversion coefficients for Chinese males and females.

The airway dimensions for Caucasian males have been scaled by multiplying by factors 0.95 and 0.88 to give those for Chinese males and females, respectively. Employing the most recent data on physical and biological parameters, the radiation doses to the basal and secretory cells due to alpha particles from 218Po and 214Po, homogeneously distributed in the mucous layer, have been calculated. Th...
