I. ABOUT

The Electronic annex with the Data viewer accompanies the ICRP publication
series on Dose Coefficients for Radionuclide Intake by the Public.

The primary dataset consists of age-dependent dose coefficients “committed
effective dose per intake (Sv per Bq)” for the Reference Members of the Public.
A supplementary dataset includes committed equivalent doses to organs and tissues
per intake by the ICRP Reference Male and Reference Female individuals (Sv per Bq).
Data cover acute intakes of radionuclides via inhalation, ingestion, and
direct uptake to the blood by the following Reference Members of the Public:
3-month-old Infant, 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-year-old Children, and Adult.

Radioactive isotopes of hydrogen (H), carbon (C), phosphorus (P), sulphur (S),
calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se),
strontium (Sr), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo),
technetium (Tc), ruthenium (Ru), silver (Ag), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te),
iodine (I), caesium (Cs), barium (Ba), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), 
neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), 
terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), 
ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), iridium (Ir), lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi),
polonium (Po), radon (Rn), radium (Ra) actinium (Ac), thorium (Th), 
protactinium (Pa), uranium (U), neptunium (Np), plutonium (Pu), 
americium (Am), curium (Cm), berkelium (Bk), californium (Cf), 
einsteinium (Es), and fermium (Fm) that are listed in ICRP 
publication series and have physical half-lives equal to or 
greater than 10 minutes are included in this Electronic Annex.

The Electronic Annex covers a range of physicochemical forms and aerosols with
median sizes from an AMTD of 0.001 um to an AMAD of 20 um.

please see the About page of the accompanying help.


II. BEFORE THE FIRST RUN OF THE ELECTRONIC ANNEX

No installation procedure or administrative rights are required.

Unpack the zip file to any empty folder on the local internal drive.
The content and structure of folders in zip shall be preserved.
Run the executable file of ICRP InMoP Electronic Annex.

The software is not intended to reside on a network or USB drive and should be
installed on the internal drive of the individual machine. Otherwise, help or
other essential software functionalities may be unavailable. To enable the help
file of the Electronic Annex located on an external drive, consult the 
Microsoft documentation.

The software was tested under Microsoft Windows 10 (22H2), Windows 7 and
Microsoft Windows 10 (22H2) under the Parallels Desktop 18 for Mac version
18.3.2 with full HD, 4k UHD, and 5k monitors.


III. FIRST RUN. SECURITY WARNINGS AND BLOCKED HELP FILE

Start the executable from its folder or from the Desktop / Start Menu if
proper shortcuts are set up.

When you download a file with your browser, Windows may automatically flag it
as coming from the Internet and potentially dangerous. As a result, when you open
the file, Windows might display a warning or prevent it from opening until you
mark it as safe. Two files of the Electronic Annex, with extensions .exe and .chm,
are subject to such blocking.

To unblock the .exe file on Windows 10, when you see the message "Windows
protected your PC," click "More info," then select "Run anyway."

To unblock the help file .chm (the compiled HTML help file from Microsoft),
double-click it in Explorer and confirm you want to open it without further
warnings, unchecking "Always ask before opening this file" in the Security
Warning window.

After completing these two steps, the Electronic Annex and its help file
should be accessible without additional restrictions.


IV. HELP

In case of difficulties, please refer to the context-dependent
help (press F1 anywhere in the program). For information about
the support and feedback, please see the LICENSE file.

V. Quality Assurance and Contributions
The ICRP attaches particular importance to quality assurance.
Task Group 95 on Internal Dose Coefficients (IDC) arranged the quantities
given here to be calculated independently at different institutions using
different computational methods and computer codes. Any discrepancies were
investigated and resolved before inclusion in this electronic annex.
The calculation of the dataset and the quality assurance were aided by
significant contributions of the following individuals and their institutions:
Rich Leggett and Keith F. Eckerman, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL),
Demetrio Gregoratto and Tracy Smith, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA),
Volodymyr Berkovskyy and Gennadii Ratia, Ukrainian Radiation Protection
Institute (RPI) and National Research Center for Radiation Medicine,
Haematology and Oncology, Ukraine (NRCRMHO), Ukraine.
The radon dataset was prepared by Demetrio Gregoratto and James Marsh (UKHSA).

Gennadii Ratia (RPI/NRCRMHO) coded the Data Viewer, created and verified the dataset.
Volodymyr Berkovskyy (RPI/NRCRMHO) developed the concept for the software.

The European Union co-funded the quality assurance of the Electronic Annex
within Grant Agreement No 900009.
