Validation of the MC-GPU Monte Carlo code against the PENELOPE/penEasy code system and benchmarking against experimental conditions for typical radiation qualities and setups in interventional radiology and cardiology
(2021-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIntroduction: Interventional procedures are associated with potentially high radiation doses to the skin. The 2013/59/EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a device ... -
Comparison of airborne radiation detectors carried by rotary-wing unmanned aerial systems
(2020)
Article
Open AccessThe Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the German Federal Office of Radiation Protection (BfS) have analysed the response of a 2”x2” (diameter x height) NaI and ... -
Conversion of explicit microplane model with boundaries to a constitutive subroutine for implicit finite element programs
(2021-03-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWhereas various simplistic microplane models of limited applicability, defined by stress–strain curves on the microplane, can function as either explicit or implicit, the explicit-to-implicit conversion of realistic versatile ... -
A comparison of the state of the art models for constitutive modelling of concrete
(2021-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyConcrete is undoubtedly the most important and widely used construction material of the last centuries. Nevertheless, mathematical models that can accurately capture the particular material behaviour under all loading ... -
Xenon-133 and caesium-137 releases into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant: Determination of the source term, atmospheric dispersion, and deposition
(2012-03-01)
Article
Open AccessOn 11 March 2011, an earthquake occurred about 130 km off the Pacific coast of Japan's main island Honshu, followed by a large tsunami. The resulting loss of electric power at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant ... -
Report of IRPA task group on issues and actions taken in response to the change in eye lens dose limit
(2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessIn 2018, the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) established its third task group (TG) on the implementation of the eye lens dose limit. To contribute to sharing experience and raising awareness within ... -
Radiation-induced lens opacities: Epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence, methodological issues, research gaps and strategy
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIn 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended reducing the occupational equivalent dose limit for the lens of the eye from 150 mSv/year to 20 mSv/year, averaged over five years, with ... -
Effect of the radiation protective apron on the response of active and passive personal dosemeters used in interventional radiology and cardiology
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessIn fluoroscopy guided interventional procedures, workers use protective garments and often two personal dosemeters, the readings of which are used for the estimation of the effective dose; whereas the dosemeter above the ... -
A parametric study of occupational radiation dose in interventional radiology by Monte-Carlo simulations
(2020-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents the results of a parametric study on the occupational exposure in interventional radiology to explore the influence of various variables on the staff doses. These variables include the angiography beam ... -
REFLECT – Research flight of EURADOS and CRREAT: Intercomparison of various radiation dosimeters onboard aircraft
(2020-09-01)
Article
Open AccessAircraft crew are one of the groups of radiation workers which receive the highest annual exposure to ionizing radiation. Validation of computer codes used routinely for calculation of the exposure due to cosmic radiation ... -
Applicability of the closed-circuit accumulation chamber technique to measure radon surface exhalation rate under laboratory conditions
(2020-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA layer of phosphogypsum was placed at the bottom of two large volume boxes. This system allowed to measure the surface radon exhalation from phosphogypsum without altering the emitting material. The limits and optimal ... -
