EV50 - PEP 3D: Practical Computational Modeling for Health Physics (2) - Intermediate Monte Carlo Modeling with Anthropomorphic Phantoms (Kalinowski, Dewji)Lake George 14:00 - 16:00 |
| Computational phantoms can be employed to estimate or reconstruct organ and effective doses due to external and internal radiation exposures. In this course, we will build upon principles for those familiar with MCNP basics and apply computational modeling skills for internal and external radiation sources in reference male and female adult phantoms. Demonstrations of computing organ doses and effective doses will be conducted. The objectives of this course are to: (1) review the history and capabilities of computational phantoms; (2) explore using the reference adult computational phantoms in dose estimation; (3) conduct rudimentary real-life problems and applications; and (4) provide in-person resources and support to navigate specific user needs. Participants should obtain a copy of the PIMAL (Phantom with Moving Arms and Legs) from the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Radiation Protection Computer Code Analysis and Maintenance Program website ( https://www.usnrc-ramp.com). Participants are responsible for obtaining their own license for MCNP® from RSICC at https://rsicc.ornl.gov. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own computers to the course with MCNP® and PIMAL installed. |
