Since the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, many decontamination works have been carried out. Although exposure status of workers has appropriately managed by government, there are few examples detailed analysis external dose conditions. In this study, on basis GPS location information obtained from devices together with their personal dosimeters, air rate in work area and char...

introduction: polymer gels are modern dosimeters providing three dimensional dose distributions. these dosimeters can be used in brachytherapy in which the tumor dimension is relatively small and the dose gradient is high. in this study, the ability of the magica polymer gel was investigated for assessing the absolute dose values as well as the dose distribution of low dose rate (ldr) ir-192 wi...

introduction: secondary radiation such as photoelectrons, auger electrons and characteristic radiations cause a local boost in dose for a tumor when irradiated with an external x-ray beam after being loaded with elements capable of activating the tumor, e.g.; i and gd. materials and methods:  in this investigation, the mcnpx code was used for simulation and calculation of dose enhancement facto...
