Abstract

Calculation results of dose rate coefficients for outer radiation exposure of the wide range of biota species found in the atmosphere, water environment, and soil have been analyzed. The estimation was carried out using the precision code to model the radiation transport. As a result, the dependencies between coefficient values and input parameters are revealed. The dependencies obtained will be used to develop the engineering program to calculate the outer radiation exposure dose rate for the extended range of referent species in the energy range of 0.1 to 2 MeV.
