Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dose assessment based on individual data is required in case of high radiation exposure due to such reasons as emergency response following a nuclear accident. In this study, numerical simulations using an anthropomorphic voxel phantom enabled to evaluate thyroid I-131 content providing local internal dose to thyroid, considering tissue thickness overlaying thyroid. Development of a biokinetic analysis code when administering stable iodine tablets also enabled to evaluate thyroid dose considering an individual intake scenario. Availability of the methods were confirmed by applying to the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as case examples. The results of this study would be useful for dose reconstruction for high internal exposure to I-131.
