Shielding calculations for radiotherapy
When planning new premises, keep in mind that, often, the premises are in use for several decades and the radiotherapy equipment is changed approximately every ten years. The shielding calculations are performed at the maximum excitation energy and field size of the radiotherapy equipment unless deviating from the maximum values is justified. The dose rate is primarily selected based on the highest value to be used. STUK can provide more information on shielding calculations, as necessary.
