Abstract

The air kerma rate constant is important for estimating radiation dose and shielding calculations to ensure radiation exposure is as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Currently, there are significant deviations in this constant reported for 241Am by various institutions. Therefore, through first principle calculations and simulation, we investigate the air kerma rate constant for 241Am based on photon energies and emission probabilities reported in literature.
