3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
FORMAT: special format

 

NUMBER OF GROUPS: --

 

NUCLIDES: ORGANS: Adrenals, Bladder, Brain, Breast, Heart, Small intestine, Upper large intestine, Lower large intestine, Kidneys, Liver, Lungs, Marrow, Red marrow, Ovaries, Pancreas, Skeleton, Spleen, Stomach, Testes, Thymus, Thyroid, Uterus, Skin in air immersion, water immersion and ground-surface exposure.

 

ORIGIN: DLC-80/DRALIST

 

WEIGHTING SPECTRUM: --

 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The data library contains a tabulation of dose-rate conversion factors for external exposure to photons and electrons emitted by radionuclides dispersed in the environment.
The data are used to estimate the gamma-ray and electron dose rates for various body organs (23) and for an "effective" dose rate for air and water immersion and from ground-surface sources. The data are given for approximately 500 radioactive nuclides.

4. METHODS

The data were computed by the CCC-536/DOSFACTER-DOE code from the DLC-80/DRALIST library of radioactive decay data for approximately 500 nuclides. They are used to estimate the gamma-ray and electron dose rates for 23 body organs and the "effective" dose rate air and water immersion and from ground-surface sources.

8. RELATED OR AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

DOSDAT-R: Retrieval code to list Dose-Rate Factor Data.
This is the third widely-distributed compilation computed by the code DOSFACTER. The present data differ from DLC-79/DOSDAT II as follows: no body surface factors are calculated, "total body" factors are replaced by "effective" (weighted) factors, electron dose factors for the skin are calculated at several depths, and output format differs. Non-SI units are used.
