We have developed a new system using numerical simulation technique for analyzing dose distribution in various postures by neutron, photon and electron exposures. The system consists of mathematical human phantoms with movable arms and legs and Monte Carlo codes MCNP and MCNPX. This system was applied to the analysis of dose distribution for the heavily exposed workers in the Tokai-mura criticality accident. The paper describes the simulation technique employed and a summary of the dose analysis.
