Objective
THIS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON DOSIMETRY FOR THE PROTECTION OF WORKERS AND THE POPULATION. DEVELOPMENT OF DOSIMETRIC METHODOLOGY FOR A BETTER EVALUATION OF ORGAN DOSES.
Work on the computation of the radiation dose due to the daughter products of radon deposited in the lung has included:
refinement of the dose calculation with improved data on lung models, aerosol parameters, deposition and clearance mechanisms;
formulation of the phase effect and the straggling of energy loss, and their influence on the dose calculations;
extensive analysis of results and comparison with the calculations of previous authors;
microdosimetric study of the energy deposition distribution in the sensitive target of interest (ie lung cell nucleus);
lung cancer induction modelling employing the information on lung cells, their radiosensitivity and distribution.
COMPUTATION OF THE RADIATION DOSE DUE TO THE DAUGHTER PRODUCTS OF RADON DEPOSITED IN THE LUNG.
