Description

The Specific Effective Energies (SEE) are the dose equivalents received by each of the body organs (targets organs) per nuclear transformation of a radionuclide deposited in an organ or tissue (source organ) after an intake of this isotope. The SEE values were calculated on basis of the dosimetric concepts of Publication 30 of the International Comission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The results were evaluated using two of the three most known decay data banks. This study shows considerables discrepancies in the evaluation of the SEE values for some radionuclides. In theses cases it is recommended the use of the most complete and detailed decay data bank to perform the SEE calculations. (author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

As Energias Especificas Efetivas (EEEs) sao as doses equivalentes recebidas pelos orgaos do corpo (orgaos alvos) a cada transformacao nuclear de um radionuclideo depositado em um determinado orgao ou tecido (orgao fonte) de um individuo contaminado internamente por material radioativo. Seus valores foram calculados com base no modelo dosimetrico apresentado na publicacao No. 30 da International Comission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Observa-se porem, quando se calcula as EEEs utilizando-se os bancos de dados de energias de decaimento mais difundidos na literatura, que os resultados obtidos com os dados de cada um deles, ao serem comparados entre si, mostram haver discrepancias signicativas para alguns nuclideos. Nesses casos aconselha-se a utilizacao do banco de dados mais completo no calculo das EEEs. (autor)
