Abstract:
Objective To describe a simplified generic procedure to evaluate the external exposure dose evaluation in radiological emergency, and to compile the corresponding computer software. Methods Based on the related reports of IAEA, this generic procedure of external exposure dose evaluation in radiological emergency was compiled to computer software by Visual Basic 6.0. Results The generic procedure for evaluation of external exposure dose could be used in the external exposure radiation accident emergency. The actual accident data were input in this software, then the results from this software agreed with those of the actual accident well. The maximum error was 40% , and the minimum error was 6%.Conclusions The generic procedure for evaluation of external exposure dose could provide practical emergency response guidance. The software might help to evaluate the accidental dose more quickly and accurately, and provide scientific basis to take the immediate response actions.
