Many services that RADAR offers are directly available from this web site - access to data, downloads of decay data, dose conversion factors, documents, etc. In addition, other services are available, on-line, or through direct contact with RADAR members.

TRAINING COURSES

RADAR members are developing training courses in a number of areas in internal and external dose assessment. These courses may be available on-line, so that they can be taken over the Internet, thus reducing the high costs of attending courses in person. However, if desired, on-site training can also be contracted from specific individual(s) within the group on specific topics.

GENERAL CONSULTING

Members of RADAR are generally available for consultation on specific topics or for participation on specific projects involving internal and external dose assessment. Areas of expertise for each member are outlined on that memberīs biography page. Specific availability, rates, and contact information can be obtained from these pages. Examples of areas covered:

External Dose Calculations (John Hunt)

External dose assessments can be performed:

• The effective dose or tissue dose can be calculated using an anthropomorphic phantom (voxel based). The exposure to any radionuclide in any geometry (point, plane or cloud immersion) can be simulated. The calculation may be made for normal exposure conditions or for accident cases, such as a point source in contact with the skin.
  
• Dose calculations due to external radionuclide sources using existing dose conversion factors with modifications for specific installations or accident situations.
