Abstract: Taking carp as an example,a voxel phantom is built to calculate dose conversion coefficients (DCC) of different organs for 137Cs. The results were compared with data estimated with a simplified model of same size, the Environmental Risk from Ionizing Contaminants—Assessment and management (ERICA) and those for reference trout in ICRP publication 108. It shows that the total DCC by the voxel phantom is similar to that by the simplified model, and is less than the recommended values of ICRP and ERICA.

Key words: Biological dose assessment, Voxel phantom, Simplified model
