Calculation of absorbed dose from gamma or x radiation

Book ·
OSTI ID:6895579

The method presented provides a technique for calculating the absorbed dose in a material from knowledge of the radiation field, the composition of the material, and a related measurement. The procedure is applicable for x and gamma radiation, provided the energy of the photons falls in the 0.01 to 20 MeV range and the x-ray spectrum end-point energy is 0.1 MeV or greater. A method is also given for calculating the absorbed dose in a material, given the absorbed dose in another material exposed to the same radition field.
