The computer code Fallout Inhalation and Ingestion Dose to Organs (FIIDOS) calculates the 50-year radiation-dose commitment to 20 body organs that would result from the inhalation or ingestion of nuclear weapon fallout. FIIDOS considers the production and radioactive decay of the radionuclides present in the nuclear fallout (including fission products, activation products, and actinides) and accommodates radionuclide-specific fractionation data. Several types of radiation intensity and activity measurements, with selectable sets of dose-conversion factors, form the basis for dose calculations. Sample problems and the FORTRAN program listing are included.
