Dose Rate Constants for New Dose Quantities

Open publisher page 35 citations

Abstract

Conceptual changes and new quantities made it necessary to reassess dose rate quantities. Calculations of the dose rate constant were carried out for air kerma, ambient dose equivalent and directional dose equivalent. The number of radionuclides is more than 200. The threshold energy is selected as 20 keV for the dose equivalent constants. The dose rate constant for the photon equivalent dose as used mainly in German speaking countries as a temporary quantity is also included.
