Abstract
This study aimed to investigate effects of the
thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) size and type on the
absorbed dose value by using of Monte Carlo calculations.
The options in creating conditions to establish the kerma
approximation were also studied. The Monte Carlo
N-Particle (MCNPX 2.4.0) transport code was used to
design simulations. Results of this work indicate that if
common mineral materials of TLDs are replaced by air and
a huge volume is applied for the TLD, the accurate
assessment of absorbed doses is possible while the photon
energy fluence in the TLD cell is convoluted with mass
energy absorption coefficients of the real TLD material. In
this method the simulation run-time is strongly decreased.
