Abstract :
In this paper, dose uniformity ratio in irradiation cell of GC-220 is specifiedutilizing an analytical method based on the multipole moment expansion. In this method, the values of monople, dipole and quadrupole moments for source arrangements of GC-220 are calculated by numerical integrating. Appling these values, the dose uniformity ratio in the irradiation cell of GC-220 is calculated equal to 1.92. Monte Carlo simulation is applied to validate calculations. There is a relative difference about 12% between the results obtained from the analytical calculation and Monte Carlo simulation, which confirm the used method. In comparison with Monte Carlo methods, this method is not time consuming, so, this method can be used for the conceptual designing and the source load planning of irradiators.
