Objective To validate the feasibility of establishing a dosimetric model for insect species by investigating the ecological environment of an inland site in the northwestern China. Methods For Damalacore, a simplified anatomical model based on anatomy and geometry and a model based on CT scan sequence image were established to produce a voxel model. In combination with the Monte Carlo particle transport process, the deposited energy of the radionuclides in the insect tissues/organs was obtained. The dose rate from 90Sr and 137Cs to Damalacore was calculated on the basis of empirical formula. Results The dose rate from internal exposure to the simplified anatomical model was 8.58×10-2 for 90Sr and 4.25×10-3μGy/h for 137Cs, whereas the dose rate from external exposure to the simplified anatomy model was 2.81×10-2for 90Sr and 2.56×10-1μGy/h for 137Cs, respectively. The internal exposure to the voxel model from 90Sr and 137Cs was 3.91×10-2and 2.91×10-3μGy/h, whereas the external exposure to the voxel model from 90Sr and 137Cs was 2.81×10-2 and 2.56×10-1μGy/h, respectively. The internal exposure from 90Sr and 137Cs to ERICA model was 1.46×10-1 and 1.46×10-2μGy/h, whereas the external exposure to the ERICA model from 90Sr and 137Cs was 5.79×10-2 and 2.58×10-1μGy/h, respectively. Conclusions The calculated results based on the two models are similar to those based on ERICA model and therefore are proved reliable. With improved model accuracy, the calculated result are more close to the practical situation and feasible. |
