An analytic model of neutron ambient dose equivalent and equivalent dose for proton radiotherapy. [PDF]
Phys Med Biol, 2010 Stray neutrons generated in passively scattered proton therapy are of concern because they increase the risk that a patient will develop a second cancer. Several investigations characterized stray neutrons in proton therapy using experimental measurements and Monte Carlo simulations, but capabilities of analytical methods to predict neutron exposures ...

Seasonal variations of ambient dose equivalent rate on the streets of Saint Petersburg
Радиационная гигиенаThe gamma dose rate in air at any given outdoor location is not constant throughout the year. These fluctuations of the dose rate should be taking into account when assessing external radiation dose to humans.
