DACRIN is designed to provide rapid and consistent estimates of the effective radiation dose to the human respiratory tract and other organs resulting from the inhalation of radioactive aerosols. The program will calculate the effective radiation dose to any of 18 organs and tissues from inhalation of any one or a combination of radionuclides considered by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Input to the program consists of a few program control variables, the duration of inhalation exposure, ventilation rate, the time interval within which the dose is delivered, the organs of interest, the quantity of the radionuclide inhaled, its solubility class and particle size, and, when an atmospheric dispersion model is invoked, the additional parameters required for the model selected. Output provided by DACRIN consists of the effective radiation dose to the specified organs at selected time intervals for each radionuclide inhaled as indicated by the input data.UNIVAC1100; FORTRAN; EXEC8; 56,000 words of memory are needed to execute the program.
