A comprehensive study has been completed for comparison of nuclear decay data for dosimetry calculations of ICRP Publication 38 (lCRP38) with those compiled from the recent Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF), the latest version in August, 1997. In most nuclides, the values of the half-life, branching fraction and total energy of the radiations calculated from the ENSDF were in agreement with those of ICRP38. However, significant differences in these values were found in several nuclides, notably in 6oFe, 80Sr, 104m Ag, 123Te, 126Ba and 231Th. The causes for the differences were analyzed, and the influence ofthe revision of the decay data on the dose calculations was evaluated for the selected nuclides. The present results must be beneficial to a future revision ofICRP38.

Comprehensive nuclear decay data files used for dose calculation have been compiled using decay data sets from the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF), the latest version in August 1997. The compiled data files contain the decay data for (1) 817 radionuclides that are listed in ICRP Publication 38 (Publ. 38) and 6 additional isomers and (2) 162 radionuclides with half-lives ≥10 min that are not listed in Publ. 38 and their 28 daughters. For all of the decay data sets used as input, basic nuclear properties that are particularly important for calculating energies and intensities of emissions were examined and updated by referring to NUBASE. In addition, possible revisions of partial and incomplete decay data sets were done for their format and syntax errors, level schemes, normalization records, and so on. After that, the decay data sets were processed by EDISTR in order to compute the energies and intensities of α particles, β particles, γ rays, internal conversion electrons, X rays, and Auger electrons emitted in nuclear transformation. The compiled data were prepared in two different types of format, Publ. 38 and NUCDECAY formats, which have been used as standard forms in dose calculation in radiation protection. The compiled data will be widely used for external and internal dose calculations and will be beneficial to a future revision of ICRP Publ. 38.
