Description

Failure of safety management system can bring about a heavily exposed person in maintenance of a radiation facility, though such a case is very rare. A method using radiation transport code has advantages in an assessment of dose distribution inside a human body. Complicated procedures, however, are needed to prepare an input-file and to derive radiation dose based upon descriptions of an output-file in a numerical analysis using a radiation transport code. Thus, a system was developed to set up necessary information for an input file and to give radiation dose from an output file by a dialogue method using graphical user interfaces. Dose assessment can be effectively carried out for a radiological accident with this system. (author)
