The objective of this work is to obtain fluence to effective dose conversion coefficients for neutron point sources, using the GEANT4 toolkit. These calculations aim to investigate the aspects of neutron transport in the human body through Monte Carlo simulation using the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) voxel phantoms, described in its publication 110. A benchmarking of the code was made for the case of monoenergetic plane parallel neutron beam in the antero-posterior (AP) irradiation geometry and organ absorbed dose conversion coefficients were compared with those found in the ICRP publication 116. The results showed good agreement with ICRP results in the studied energy range. Conversion coefficients were presented for specific conditions with 241Am–Be and 252Cf point neutron sources 1 m away from the phantom in the AP geometry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
