Description/Abstract:
MODELS CORRESPONDING TO AN ADULT RHESUS MONKEY AND A SIMPLE ANALOGUE H AVE BEEN CREATED IN COMBINATORIAL GEOMETRY FOR USE IN MONTE CARLO RADI ATION TRANSPORT CALCULATIONS. THE COMPLEX MONKEY PHANTOM IS BASED ON A NATOMICAL MEASUREMENTS OF A SECTIONED CADAVER. THE SIMPLE PHANTOM IS C YLINDRICAL WITH A SPERICAL HEAD. ADJOINT MONTE CARLO CALCULATIONS WERE PERFORMED TO OBTAIN THE ENERGY-AND ANGLE-DIFFERENTIAL ADJOINT FLUENC E FOR THE MID-HEAD, MID-THORAX LOCATIONS IN BOTH PHANTOMS AND ACTIVE M ARROW IN THE COMPLEX MONKEY PHANTOM. THE RESULTS HAVE ALSO BEEN CONVOL UTED WITH FREE-FIELD SPECTRA FOR TWO TRIGA REACTOR EXPOSURE ROOM CONFI GURATIONS AT THE ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE, USIN G THE VCS CODE SYSTEM. COMPARISONS ARE MADE BETWEEN CALCULATED AND MEA SURED KERMA VALUES IN THE SIMPLE PHANTOM. GOOD AGREEMENT IS OBTAINED. HOWEVER, IT IS FOUND THAT GOOD AGREEMENT CANNOT BE OBTAINED USING SIMP LE SCALAR COUPLING.
