Attempt to re-estimate organ doses of victims in non-homogeneous exposure accident by means of the state-of-the-art Mesh-type Reference Computational Phantom-a case study of an IR-192 source accident
Abstract
An attempt was made to estimate organ doses of a victim in a high-dose non-homogeneous exposure accident caused by a sealed 192Ir gamma-ray source. The Gilan accident was selected as a case study. Organ doses including testis, red bone marrow and so on were properly estimated by applying the Monte Carlo calculation with the state-of-the-art adult male Mesh type Reference Computational Phantom. By introducing a complicated exposure scenario, the dose distribution on the right chest of the victim in the Gilan accident could be reproduced to a certain extent.
