Calculation of dose distributions from 252Cf sources

Creators

Description

A method is suggested for calculating the dose field of a 252Cf point isotropic source, using a radiation attenuating function. The initial data and calculation results are shown in a table. The calculated dose distributions are applied in oncological centres performing clinical investigations of the 252Cf isotope
