Objectives
A EURADOS specialists group for computational dosimetry has identified the quality assurance of the transport calculations that are widely used in dosimetry and the unfolding of spectral information as areas where coordination of research activities is urgently needed.
The project combines various research coordination actions in the field of computational dosimetry applied to external and internal exposures at the workplace. The activities coordinated include intercomparisons and benchmark studies on the overall uncertainty assessment and on the application of advanced tools like voxel models and unfolding techniques for radiation spectra analysis. The results obtained in these projects will be presented and discussed in a workshop that will be optimally tailored to reach practitioners and to communicate the know-how on the correct use of complex computation tools as well as on the assessment of the uncertainties associated with numerical results. Special emphasis is given to a close collaboration with the partners undertaking other work packages (WPs) in the project (WP5, WP6 and WP7). The outcome will be a better understanding of the quality, i.e. reliability and uncertainty, for computational techniques in radiation protection.
Milestones and deliverables
A milestone is the investigation of stakeholder needs for calculations with complex codes with particular emphasis on uncertainty assessment.
The deliverables include reports on activities and achievements and a workshop.
