Title: Monte Carlo Simulations for Homeland Security Using Anthropomorphic Phantoms

Abstract

A radiological dispersion device (RDD) is a device which deliberately releases radioactive material for the purpose of causing terror or harm. In the event that a dirty bomb is detonated, there may be airborne radioactive material that can be inhaled as well as settle on an individuals leading to external contamination.
