NUREG 6918 Rev 4 Appendix v1.3 633.9 KB
This appendix describes different practical applications for all VARSKIN+ modules: four applications of SkinDose, two applications of WoundDose, two applications of NeutronDose, and three applications of EyeDose, using an example/solution format. The purpose of these examples is to lead a new user of VARSKIN+ through several calculations that highlight many of its features. Because VARSKIN+ 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 users will not need to perform all the steps described in the solution in an actual situation. It is suggested that the user complete each module’s examples in the order in which they are presented to become familiar with all modules of VARSKIN+.

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.
