Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents DEPDOSE, an open-source computer application that combines the KDEP respiratory tract deposition fractions for inhaled aerosols with DC_PAK committed equivalent dose coefficients for a unit deposition in each region of the respiratory tract. DEPDOSE allows the user to rapidly produce tables of dose coefficients for workers and members of the public inhaling precisely defined, user-specified aerosols using the ICRP Publication 60 methodology. Combined with a plume dispersion modeling system, such as the Quick Urban & Industrial Complex (QUIC) Dispersion Modeling System, this makes it possible to predict radiation doses downstream from an accidental or intentional release of radioactive materials. For this work, a radioactive plume was calculated to members of the public downstream from a dirty bomb in Chicago. DEPDOSE is published under an open source license, and can be downloaded at https://github.com/lanl/DEPDOSE .

向公众介绍DEPDOSE,一种计算放射性气溶胶剂量系数的工具。
摘要:本文介绍了DEPDOSE,这是一个开源的计算机应用程序,它将吸入气溶胶的KDEP呼吸道沉积分数与呼吸道每个区域单位沉积的DC_PAK承诺等效剂量系数相结合。DEPDOSE允许用户使用ICRP Publication 60方法为吸入精确定义的用户指定气溶胶的工作人员和公众快速生成剂量系数表。与羽流扩散建模系统相结合,如快速城市和工业综合体(QUIC)扩散建模系统,这使得预测放射性物质意外或有意释放的下游辐射剂量成为可能。在这项工作中,对芝加哥一枚脏弹下游的公众进行了放射性羽流计算。DEPDOSE是在开源许可证下发布的,可以在https://github.com/lanl/DEPDOSE.

期刊介绍: Health Physics, first published in 1958, provides the latest research to a wide variety of radiation safety professionals including health physicists, nuclear chemists, medical physicists, and radiation safety officers with interests in nuclear and radiation science. The Journal allows professionals in these and other disciplines in science and engineering to stay on the cutting edge of scientific and technological advances in the field of radiation safety. The Journal publishes original papers, technical notes, articles on advances in practical applications, editorials, and correspondence. Journal articles report on the latest findings in theoretical, practical, and applied disciplines of epidemiology and radiation effects, radiation biology and radiation science, radiation ecology, and related fields.
