Purpose: The purpose of this work was threefold: First, to determine which type of charge‐
coupled device (CCD) would provide the best dosimetric precision for plastic scintillation …

A high-resolution radiochromic film dosimetry (Hr-RCFD) method has been applied to verify
a small-field stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) plan. This was done by exposing a RCF in a …

Discrete fragments of irradiated nuclear fuel have been discovered on the foreshore at the
Dounreay nuclear site in Scotland, offshore on the seabed and at nearby beaches which …

International recommendations provided by the International Commission on Radiation
Protection (ICRP), as well as national regulations, set by the US Nuclear Regulatory …

Abstract The Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR20. 1201) mandates occupational dose
limits to the shallow, lens and deep tissue layers. The NRC-accepted procedure of …

Plastic scintillators, due to their favorable characteristics compared with other dosimetry
techniques, were used as detectors to estimate dose distributions in high gradient dose …

The size of hot particles contained in nuclear fallout ranges from 10 nm to 20 µm for the
worldwide weapons fallout. Hot particles from nuclear power reactors can be significantly …

The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effects of surface and volume
activity distributions from spherical-shaped hot particles on surface doses at 4, 7 and 40 mg …

Verification of radiation treatment is essential to ensure the correct delivery of the radiation to
a patient. However, when the treatment involves a very small irradiation field, verification …
