Dose Calculations from Source Models and Gamma-Ray Spectra
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque, NM, and Livermore, CA (United States)
Gamma-ray dose rates computed by two radiation source model-based methods and five measured spectrum-based methods are compared. With the exception of a Detective DX-100, which reported dose rates that are about 25% less than the mean, dose rates are generally within 10% of mean values. Methods for computation of dose rates employed by the Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software (GADRAS) are described and critically evaluated. Results are presented for a feasibility evaluation that seeks to use spectra recorded inside vehicles to estimate the minimum dose outside the vehicles.
