DOSE COEFFICIENTS TO ESTIMATE THE EXTERNAL GAMMA IRRADIATION EFFECT UPON DIFFERENT KINDS OF BIOTA (PREPRINT IBRAE-2017-09)

Preprint IBRAE-2017-09 

Blokhin P.A., et al. 

Estimation of dose impact upon the biota gradually becomes mandatory requirement by substantiation of safety for objects of radiation danger. The wide specter of radionuclides and enormous number of biota kinds makes one to search for universal ways for development of corresponding calculation methods.

This article shows the results of dose coefficients calculations of external irradiation for different kinds of biota typical for Russian Federation from radionuclides emitting by decay γ-rays with energies from ≈ 0.1 to 2 MeV. The scenarios of referent species being in the air, water, ground, and on the surface of earth are examined.
