  • Beehive model creation for use in determining radiation dose to beeswax and bee larvae

    Creator:
    Jia, Junwei
    Abstract:
    Honeybees and honey combs are good indicators of environmental contamination and can be important for dose calculations. In the event of reactor accidents and nuclear weapon testing, the released radioactive materials are likely to be transported through various environmental pathways as well as by humans and animals, including bees. Due...

  • Monte Carlo derived absorbed fractions in a voxelized model of a rainbow trout

    Creator:
    Hess, Catherine A.
    Abstract:
    The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...
