Dose rates for several organs in a human from contaminated soil and hot particles using the QAD computer code.
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.
