Dear Experts,

Thanks alot for the explanation and the corrections suggested.
 
About mSv/h: after getting results in pSv/particle, i need to multiply it by (3.7E+10 * 3600) to convert it to pSv/h. And later to mSv/h.
Hope I am doing it correct.

Regards,
Raksha R.

It means giving importance 1 to ALL regions, it is a sort of initialization.
Adding more BIASING cards after this one will change the impostance of the
various regions.
However, if you leave the outside air to 1, almost all particles will be
killed when they go from the shield (high impos=rtance) to the outside air
(low importance).. thus all the biasing will be lost there. The outside
air should have the same importance as the last layer of the shield.

Same as before.

? results for DOSE-EQ are in picoSievert/primary for prompt radiation,
picoSievert/second for specific decay times.
