Abstract
The Monte Carlo simulation programs PENELOPE and MCNPX have been used for simulating the dose rate distribution in a 60Co gamma irradiator. The simulated isodose curves obtained for each simulation code were validated comparing them to the dose measurements performed with a Fricke solution, which is a standard dosemeter widely used in radiation processing for calibration purposes. The agreement between the simulated values and the measurements indicates the effectiveness of both codes in performing the dose-mapping simulation for gamma irradiators.
