Optimising cylinder model dimensions for VARSKIN to simulate a droplet of radionuclide skin contamination using Geant4 Monte Carlo code

Gregory James et al.

Summary: This study compares the cylindrical geometries available in VARSKIN to more realistic droplet models obtained from photography using the Geant4 Monte Carlo code. The results suggest that different droplet volumes require different cylinder aspect ratios to approximate the true droplet shape. Using the recommended cylinder dimensions in VARSKIN, dose rates from radioactive skin contamination are expected to be within +/- 7.4% of a 'true' droplet model at 95% CI.
