Design and Evaluation of Structural Shielding of a Typical Radiotherapy Facility Using EGSnrc Monte Carlo Code

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the shielding integrity of a typical radiotherapy facility using the Monte Carlo (MC) method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: EGSnrc MC code was used to design a radiotherapy bunker with appropriate materials and thicknesses. A concrete density of 2.36 g/cm(3) was used a...
