NUREG 6918 Rev 4 Appendix v1.2 587.9 KB
This appendix describes four different practical applications of SkinDose using an example/solution format. Each example describes a situation followed by a solution that involves the use of SkinDose to estimate shallow dose at 7 mg/cm2 and dose at a depth of 1,000 mg/cm2. The purpose of these examples is to lead a new user of SkinDose through several calculations that highlight many of its features. Because SkinDose is a flexible tool, there are always several ways to calculate the dose for a given example. The solutions presented here reflect the recommendations that are provided throughout the user’s manual. With some experience, most SkinDose users will not need to perform all the steps described in the solution in an actual situation. It is suggested that the user complete all four examples in the order in which they are presented to become familiar with SkinDose.

VARSKIN+ 1.0: A Computer Code for Skin Contamination and Dosimetry Assessments - NUREG/CR-6918, Rev. 4 (June 2021). The report provides an introduction to VARSKIN+ and previous versions. Chapter 2 of this report comprises the VARSKIN+ User’s Manual. It is subdivided into four segments and mimics the layout of the GUI. The segments are SkinDose, WoundDose, NeutronDose, and EyeDose. Chapter 3 discusses the technical basis for the SkinDose (classic VARSKIN) module, while Chapters 4, 5, and 6 describe the physics models employed for wound, neutron, and eye dosimetry. Verification and validation results for each of the four dosimetry modules are contained in the specific chapter describing the module. Appendix A provides a few sample problems for each dose module and the user is encouraged to become familiar with dosimetry functions by exercising each sample problem.
