Abstract
The paper presents results of application of unified methodology for analytical evaluation of absorbed radiation fractions for dosimetry of cylinder-shape bio-objects following the internal uniform contamination with emitted photons. New models have been used for calculation of photon fractions dose absorbed by various non-human biological objects of various cylinder configurations and sizes. Evaluated absorbed photon radiation doses are in accordance with independently tested data, obtained by numeric integration of basic absorbed photon radiation dose with account of the cylinder volume. The theoretical interpretation of used calculation formulae based on the theory of middle chords in convex bodies is given in the paper. An advantage of the unified method is the possibility to use simple algebraic formulae for calculating absorbed radiation dose fractions in convex bodies (spheres, ellipsoids, cylinders) without the use of Monte Carlo computer programs and adjustment parameters. In contrast to the known European computer complex ERICA Tool the developed method of calculation of radiation doses to cylinder shape bio-objects may be also used for dosimetry of non-human species, for express-assessment of radioecological situation in radionuclide-contaminated areas, as well as for radiation protection of biota.
