| Summary: | The equivalent and effective doses from the first
Iranian 115 kJ Mather type Plasma Focus machine (IRMPF-
100) have been calculated for the analytical ORNL
modified adult phantom in 12 body organs using MCNP4C
Monte Carlo code. The largest doses are related to spleen in
PA other than lungs, and testes in AP orientation. The largest
values in RLAT and LLAT orientations are related to right
and left lung, respectively. AP orientation appears with the
largest effective doses stemming from the contribution due
to exposure of the testes. It is demonstrated that the effective
dose due to neutrons for people working with the PF is well
within the relevant dose limits. Differences of approximately
10 % are observed in the obtained results for the effective
dose between a bare source of neutrons and the realistic
situation in which electrodes, chamber wall and concrete
floor are included in the MCNP simulation. |
