Revised version of Dosimetry System 2002 (DS02R1)

Furuta, Takuya   

The current standard of the international radiation protection is determined through life span study of atomic bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and individual radiation dose estimates for each survivor calculated by Dosimetry System 2002 (DS02). Dose estimates in DS02 are based on input data such as location and shielding condition of the survivor. Therefore accuracy of dose estimates and accordingly that of radiation risk evaluation are largely affected by the accuracy of the input data. In this review, we present an article DS02R1 discussed improvement of the input data of individual atomic bomb survivors for DS02 and its consequence keeping the core system unchanged.
