In order to evaluate the radiation doses involved in an environmental contamination of soil, with 137Cs, we carried out a computational dosimetric study. We determined the radiation conversion coefficients (CC) for effective (E) and equivalent (H T) doses, using a male and a female anthropomorphic phantoms. These phantoms were coupled with the MCNPX (2.7.0) Monte Carlo simulation software, for three different types of soil. The highest CC[H T] values were for the gonads and skin (male) and bone marrow and skin (female). We found no difference for the different types of soil.1-5openAccesscesium 137radiation accidentsenvironmental exposurecontaminationsoilsmonte carlo methodradiation sourcescomputer codesdosimetryradiation monitoringradiation protectionArtigo de periódico01205097510.1088/1742-6596/975/1/012050https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7362-2455Sem Percentil16.00
