Incorporation of Current ICRP Recommendations in the GENMOD Internal Dosimetry Code

R.B. Richardson and D.W. Dunford

Genmod was initially developed by Johnson and Dunford to perform internal dose assessments and evaluate bioassay data using the methods described by the ICRP in Publications 26 and 30. The mainframe code, Genmod-MF was modified to implement the ICRP's new lung model, new weighting factors and new values for specific effective energy (SEE) available from M. Cristy and K.F. Eckerman, Oak Ridge Laboratories. Organ equivalent doses and effective dose for selected radionuclides employing the ICRP 30 general organ model have been verified, for ingestion and inhalation cases, against current ICRP publications, the internal dosimetry code LUDEP and mainframe codes. The PC version of Genmod has been rewritten to operate under the MS-Windows 95 system. A demonstration package has been developed that calculates doses and provides graphics for radionuclides where the ICRP's general organ model is appropriate. Data will be presented showing the differences and similarities in dose conversion factors using the ICRP 26/30 methodology and recommendations in ICRP Publication 60 onwards.
