For this purpose, the ICRP has supplied the dose coefficients and the retention and excretion rates for various radionuclides. However, these dosimetric quantities are calculated under typical conditions and are not necessarily detailed enough for dose assessment situations in which specific information on the incident or/and individual biokinetic characteristics could or should be taken into account retrospectively. This paper describes a newly developed PC-based software package called REIDAC (Retrospective Internal Dose Assessment Code) that meets the needs of retrospective dose assessment. REIDAC is made up of a series of calculation programs and a package of software. The former calculates the dosimetric quantities for any radionuclide being assessed and the later provides a user with the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for executing the programs, editing parameter values and displaying results. The accuracy of REIDAC was verified by comparisons with dosimetric quantities given in the ICRP publications. This paper presents the basic structure of REIDAC and its calculation methods. Sensitivity analysis of the aerosol size for 239Pu compounds and provisional calculations for wound contamination with 241Am were performed as examples of the practical application of REIDAC.}, pages = {1337--1346}, title = {REIDAC - A Software Package for Retrospective Dose Assessment in Internal Contamination with Radionuclides}, volume = {44}, year = {2007} }
