“…exposed individual (MEI) at the site boundary (1 km). Dose conversion factors (DCFs) have been calculated for all radionuclides of interest using the MACCS2 accident consequences code [13,141. Results show that in order to remain below the 10 mSv limit, the mercury mass released must be limited to 4.2 kg.…”

“…Peak dose is an output from MACCS, calculated at an (r, θ ) location, representing the accumulated (total) dose at a given location. The location-specific dose is the result of all direct exposure pathways at that location (not including the ingestion pathway) (Chanin & Young, 1997). This location-specific peak dose represents the hazard to any persons located in the area.…”

“…To support the parametric model, a series of calculations was performed with MACCS to generate a set of distance-weighted dose conversion factors (rem/curie) at distances of 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 8000 meters [3] for the exposure protocols identified in Table 11.…”
