Re: Scoring dose equivalent with USRBIN

Hello Vadim,

Using DOSE-EQ =3D 240.0 gives you results in pSv/primary.
By means of DCYSCORE option, all results are expressed per unit time and
because you set a number of primaries in your IRRPROFIle card, you will
get results in pSv/s.
Then the conversion in mSv/h is obsious as you said.

Hope it helps.

Best regards.

Sebastien.
