Abstract

The calculation of absorbed dose rate of photons and neutrons for the linear source of 252Cf with the active length of 2 cm is presented. Monte Carlo code and neutron cross-section data processed from ENDF/B-6 library were used. The achieved values of the absorbed dose rates are in good agreement with those published by other authors. The results of the calculation are applied to the gynecological configuration used in brachytherapy.
