Análisis del impacto de la radiación ionizante en el personal ocupacionalmente expuesto mediante una simulación en Matlab, utilizando datos dosimétricos

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyse the impact of low dose ionizing radiation on occupationally exposed personnel. A simulation was developed in Matlab using bimonthly dosimetric data from some Institutions, and by means of a polynomial adjustment by means of least squares as a function of the sum of the data of the accumulated doses per year, a curve with the relation between accumulated dose - year was obtained. This curve allows visualizing the graph of each degree of the polynomial because it analyses the data with the smallest distance to the adjustment graph, resulting in a first-degree equation. In addition, a user interface or graphical user interface (GUI) was created in Matlab, which allows easier control of the information. As a result, at a cumulative dose of 78.99 mSv during 50 years of work, the most probable effect is diseases related to the brain, heart, and chromosomal alterations. While at a dose of 110.53 mSv for 70 years there may be effects with a much higher risk factor. It is suggested that occupationally exposed personnel be continuously alerted to stochastic or probabilistic effects in the future.
