32nd EURADOS Webinar: CADORmed III software for internal dose assessment
AAllll iinnffoorrmmaattiioonn
online, 14:00-15:00 (CEST)
Overview
CADORmed III is a free Excel® tool for the dose assessment of internal exposure. It has been developed by EDF and validated by the EURADOS Working Group 7. The calculations are done according to the formulas in the EURADOS report 2013-01. CADORmed III allows data to be imported from the OIR Data Viewer with a safe and user-friendly procedure. The permission to use the OIR Data Viewer has been given by the ICRP provided that CADORmed III remains a free tool.
CADORmed III is suitable for special monitoring and dose assessment following an acute intake. It may also be used for routine monitoring assuming one intake at the middle of the monitoring period. It meets the capabilities considered as essential in the technical recommendations of the European Commission (Publication RP188, Technical Recommendations for Monitoring Individuals for Occupational Intakes of Radionuclides).
This 60-minute session will be an overall presentation of the tool.

Speakers
Gabor Lafranco has over 40 years experience in Gamma- and Alpha spectroscopy, applications of in-vivo and in-vitro individual monitoring methods. In 2022 he retired from IAEA, where he was responsible for Whole Body Counting in an accredited individual monitoring laboratory. Since 2016, he has been an Associate Member of the EURADOS Internal Dosimetry Working Group 7, where he is contributing to the development of CADORmed III internal dosimetry software.
Bernard Landry is an Occupational physician and has been working at EDF for about thirty-five years. He has a good experience in the practical aspects of care of workers affected by a contamination incident. For the past 10 years, he has specialized in internal dosimetry and has been thesis director for several students, including one on dose calculation in case of hot particle ingestion. He is the developer of CADORmed III and is a member of EURADOS WG7 “Internal Dosimetry”.
Since 2011, Juan Francisco Navarro has been the Head of the In Vivo Monitoring Laboratory at CIEMAT. He is a member of EURADOS WG7 “Internal Dosimetry” and is currently involved in tasks aimed at improving emergency response capabilities. He has participated in several international projects and lectured in national and international advanced radiation protection courses. Since 2023, he has served as Director of Radioprotección, an open-access journal published by the Spanish Society for Radiological Protection. J.F. Navarro currently collaborates with IAEA as an expert in internal dosimetry through the IAEA's Technical Cooperation Programmes.
Inmaculada Sierra has a PhD in pharmacy and over 27 years of expertise in internal dosimetry. She currently serves as head of the In Vitro Bioassay Laboratory at CIEMAT. The laboratory is accredited for the measurement of excreted activity in biological samples, providing technical support to the Spanish national regulatory body. Inma has been lecturer for IAEA, ICRP, she is member of the Council of the Spanish Radiation Protection Society and participated in many international projects related with internal dosimetry. She is a member of EURADOS WG7 “Internal Dosimetry”.
