This volume collects the proceedings of the workshop entitled‘Computing Radiation Dosimetry’, held in Sacavém,Portugal, 22–23 June 2002. Sponsored by the OECD/NEA NuclearScience Committee and hosted by Instituto TecnólogicoNuclear (ITN), the workshop addressed the increasingly crucialrole that computational radiation dosimetry methods and toolsplay in     

NCRP Report no. 144--Radiation protection for particle accelerator facilities * National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements * Issued 31 December 2003; revised 7 January 2005: NCRP, Bethesda, MD, USA * ISBN: 0-929600-77-0, 499 pp, $100 (Hardcover), $80 (electronic file downloadable from http://ncrppublications.org)

This report, prepared for the NCRP by experts in the field ofradiation protection, provides practical design and operationalguidelines for radiation protection at particle acceleratorfacilities, with energies from 5 MeV up to the highest energiesavailable, as well as low-energy neutron generators. Acceleratorsare being increasingly used in medicine, research and industry.Many new installations are currently being built, especiallysynchrotron radiation machines, and new applications are beingdeveloped, such as radioactive waste transmutation. Thus, thereis
