Abstract:: Radiation protection has historically been from a human protection approach, therefore many studies have neglected the potential dose contribution from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in animal studies. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) utilized simplified geometric shapes with Dose Conversion Factors (DCF) based on homogenized models for the trout...

Creator:: Ruedig, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: In the last decade regulatory bodies have begun to implement standards to protect populations of non-human biota (NHB) from the consequences of radiation exposure. This is a departure from previous regulatory frameworks which were concerned only with protecting man. The implementation of these new standards has started an ongoing discussion...

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: A system for radiological dosimetry for nonhuman biota developed by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) relies on calculations that utilize the Monte Carlo simulations of simple, ellipsoidal geometries with internal radioactivity distributed homogeneously throughout. In this manner it is quick and easy to estimate whole-body dose rates to biota....

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...
