Dose Rates For Several Organs In A Human From Contaminated Soil And Hot Particles Using The Qad Computer Code
Abstract
Dose rates from contaminated soil and hot particles have been calculated for several organs of a reference human. The calculation was performed using the computer code QAD-CGGP, a point kernel code employing combinatorial geometry for the representation of the human phantom. QAD uses buildup factors based on the geometric progression form, a buildup factor representation adopted by the American Nuclear Standards Committee. The results indicate that QAD is a powerful and easy-to-run code that produces useful results for practicing health physicists. © 1991 Health Physics Society Pergamon Press plc.
