Rad Dose v2.0

Welcome to Rad Dose, the geometrical radiation dosimetry code


Rad Dose is a modelling tool to simulate the dose of radiation from radionuclide-containing solids exposed by surrounding media. The current version features include: Alpha and Beta dosimetry · Capablble of planar and spherical geometries · Single inputs for average decay energy · Multiple inputs for radionuclide entries · Multiple interfaces · Background Gamma · Report Download

Software recognised and used by the UK nuclear industry

The result of a PhD research project funded by the TRANSCEND consortium in partnership with the research department at the National Nuclear Lab and Sellafield decomissioning formed the idea for rad dose. Although this is the most basic demonstration of what rad dose is capable of, with further funding and collaboration with the nuclear industry, a versitile and poweful predictive tool for predicting radioactive doses from a plethora of radioactive materials into diverse surrounding media can be developed
