3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

GARDEC estimates the reduction of dose rates by garden decontamination. It provides the effect of different decontamination methods, the depth of soil to be considered, dose-rate before and after decontamination and the reduction factor.

[ top ]

4. METHODS

This code takes into account three methods of decontamination :
(i)digging a garden in a special way, (ii) a removal of the upper layer of soil, and (iii) covering with a shielding layer of soil. The dose-rate conversion factor is defined as the external dose-rate, in the air, at a given height above the ground from a unit concentration of a specific radionuclide in each soil layer.
