Spectrum and Yield to Dose Conversion Coefficients for Beta Skin Doses Linked to the Q System

Abstract: Monte Carlo simulations are a state-of-the-art method to calculate dose coefficients and could be used with the Q system for radioactive material packaging. These simulations often take a long time to converge with sufficient precision. Furthermore, if multiple sources have to be taken into account, many weeks of calculations may be needed. In order to reduce the calculation time, this paper proposes a new method based on a transfer function to instantly compute Q values associated with beta skin doses. The me… Show more

“…The LSD-CC values are of high importance for radiation protection purposes and, as an example, for the IAEA working group A1/A2 whose objective is to propose updated limits of the international regulations for the safe transport of radioactive material (Frosio et al 2019(Frosio et al , 2020. The IAEA A1/A2 working group defines the Q B quantity based on the local skin equivalent dose (IAEASSG26 2012).…”
