Abstract EN
Transporting and processing of radioisotopes and irradiated targets inside hot cells generate a significant contamination.
The majority of contamination comes from dispersion of radioactive materials during processing the samples after irradiation.
Processing includes opening, extracting the irradiated samples, and preparing the samples in a shield prior to transportation.
A model of dispersion of radioactive products inside the cell is postulated.
Before decontaminating the cell, the expected dose received by the worker must be evaluated.
A RESRAD-BUILD code is used in this study to calculate the dose and the corresponding risk.
The calculated dose received during the decontamination process is more than the permissible dose and many proposals are presented in the study to decrease the level of received doses
