Just to be more exact,
The values are taken from USRBIN Dose R-phi-Z mesh plotted as 1D taking R as x axis. And the values I suppose gives GeV/g/decay which are normalized then.

Dear Alex
Maybe tell exactly which value from which scoring card you used for the
100cm and 1cm doses.
For example, I see a scoring by region. Note that in this case FLUKA does
not divide by the volume of the scoring region, which you'll have to do
yourself offline.
Cheers
Stefan
