Abstract
Monte Carlo simulations are a state-of-the-art method to calculate dose coefficients and could be used with the Q system for radioactive material packaging. These simulations often take a long time to converge with sufficient precision. Furthermore, if multiple sources have to be taken into account, many weeks of calculations may be needed. In order to reduce the calculation time, this paper proposes a new method based on a transfer function to instantly compute Q values associated with beta skin doses. The method developed in this paper can be applied to compute beta skin dose and easily could be extended to other particles and different depths in organs with various kinds of shielding configurations between source and target.
