Whole body exposure from photon-emitting hot particles is receiving new attention because
of changes in skin dose regulations. A recent study calculated and tabulated effective dose …

Whole body exposure from photon-emitting hot particles is a relatively new problem. Until
recently, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission required the use of deep dose equivalent …

The only calculational model recognised by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for
hot particle dosimetry is VARSKIN Mod 1. Because the code was designed to calculate skin …

A unified skin dose limit of 0.5 Sv at a depth of 70 μm averaged over the highest 10 cm 2 of
skin exposed was evaluated to replace the existing limit of 0.5 Sv averaged over 1 cm 2 …

A critical review and a reassessment of data reviewed in NCRP Report 106 on the effects
of'hot particles' on the skin of pigs, monkeys, and humans were carried out. Our analysis of …

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in IEN 86-23, provided the basic criteria for the
assessment of skin contamination incidents involving radioactive hot particles. To ensure …

An updated version of the skin dose computer code VARSKIN, namely VARSKIN 4, was
examined to determine the accuracy of the photon model in calculating dose rates with …

In our study, we quantitatively compared the hot particle dose calculated by our
microcomputer Monte Carlo electron transport code, Eltran3, with the values calculated by …

VARSKIN Mod 2 is a DOS-based computer program that calculates the dose to skin from
beta and gamma contamination either directly on skin or on material in contact with skin. The …

A complete set of HE and E values were calculated for photon exposures from point and disk
sources on the floor using the MCNP code and a “hermaphroditic” phantom. It was found …
