Abstract
Process and system for determining radiation exposure in airplanes The invention pertains to a process for the determination of the radiation load, respectively the dosage (effect) of the radiation prevailing in airplanes with the aid of an algorithm, with which the spectral composition of the encumbering radiation can be determined and which is subject to the altitude as well as the geographical, respectively the geomagnetic longitude and latitude, respectively, that the portions of the individual types of radiation of the locally total spectrum can be determined, or else have been determined. In accordance with the invention, there is provided that aboard the airplane, the (equivalent) dosage (effect) of a single type of radiation, for example, gamma radiation, is determined and is multiplied by the determined portion factor of this type of radiation, with this type of radiation including a portion of the locally expected total spectrum and that the product thereof, as an actual (equivalent) dosage (effect) is indicated or evaluated and/or stored. A system for the noted determination is also set forth.
