Abstract
Effective dose equivalent and effective dose per unit photon fluence h ave been calculated by the FLUKA code For various geometrical conditio ns of irradiation of an anthropomorphic phantom placed in a vacuum. Ca lculations have been performed for monoenergetic photons of energy ran ging from 50 keV to 10 GeV. The agreement with the results of other au thors, when existing, is generally very satisfactory.
