Introduction: Thyroid cancer is at the ninth from ten of common malignant cancer. A man has higher risk to get Thyroid cancer that a woman has. This organ is lain near human neck. The use of radioactive I-131, I-123 and Tc-99m for diagnosis of thyroid cancer has a risk where other organs around Thyroid will accept dose of radiation. One of the risks is large dose which is accep...

The csg2csg tool is a minimal dependency Python3 based program to facilitate the comparison of radiation transport Monte Carlo codes. can currently parse MCNP and OpenMC geometry descriptions, it subsequently export MCNP, FLUKA, PHITS, Serpent files. This translation achieved by reading input into class system objects corresponding surfaces, cells, materials so on. are then translated ‘generic’...

The MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scie...

Fluence to Local Skin Dose Conversion Coefficients (LSD-CC) are radiological protection quantities used for external radiation exposures which allow the conversion of particle fluences into local skin equivalent dose. The International Commission on Radiological Protection published LSD-CC electrons with an energy range from 10 keV MeV. However, literature does not address these all types, in p...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract The dose distribution in irradiation room and the dose rate at each dwell position of 60Co irradiator SVST-Co-60/B have been calculated using MCNP code. The calculated results are useful information to estimate radiation safety and design irradiato...

The NEAR station is the newest experimental area of n_TOF facility at CERN, utilizing spallation process to generate extremely high neutron flux within a broad energy spectrum. As part campaign for determination beam spectral features, numerous foils have been irradiated last year and induced activities were measured implementing HPGe detector.
 Experimental data analysis foil’s gamma-ray ...

The term of brachytherapy, also known as “internal radiotherapy, sealed source radiotherapy, curietherapy or endocurietherapy” is from Greek work brachy means short distance and therapy (treatment) and also known as internal radiotherapy or sealed source radiotherapy. Brachytherapy is a special form of radiotherapy where a radioactive source is carefully placed on or inside the area to be treat...
