Dear Muhammad,
you can define the isotope source setting SDUM=ISOTOPE in the BEAM card,
and defining the Z and A of your isotope in the HI-PROPE card.
You cannot define the activity of your source directly. All FLUKA results
are normalized "per primary" (except event-by event scoring). In the case
of a radioactive source, a primary is one decay, thus you'll get results
normalized per Becquerel. You will have to normalize your results offline
(or in the Flair plotting menu, or by the Normalization factor in the
scoring card if available) multiplying by the activity of your source.
To activate radioactive decay in semi-analogue mode you have to set a
RADDECAY card with what(1) >1.0
To obtain gamma spectrum at different positions, you can use the USRBDX
card at the boundaries of interest (for instance, at the exit from the
housing), asking PHOTON as particle to be scored.
Note that you will need to add a DCYSCORE card with what(1)=-1.0 to each
one of your estimators, otherwise the decay radiation (gammas..) will NOT
be scored.
To score dose rate:
- if you mean deposited energy, you can use USRBIN estimators
covering the regions of interest and asking for DOSE as quantity
to be scored.
- if you mean equivalent dose, again USRBIN can be a way, asking for
DOSE-EQ.
- if you mean dose per unit of time, you cannot score it directly.
FLUKA gives dose per unit of decay, but knowing the activity of
your source you can calculate the dose per unit of time.
If you wish information at a specific position in your geometry, you can
use the mgdraw.f routine, but this will require a bit of basic
programming.
For mixed source, you can make use of the source.f routine
or perform different runs with different ISOTOPEs and sum the results
offline with the correct relative intensities of the sources.
I hope this helps.
