DOSE ndose {1} <dist> {0}

Dose rates are calculated for a semi-infinite slab of the material. This is the default if the keyword is not used or if ndose = 1, but if ndose = 2 then the calculations are done for a point source of 1 g of material at a distance of dist metres. dist is not used for the semi-infinite slab as the contact dose rate is always assumed. The minimum distance is 0.3 m; if a smaller value is specified then dist is set to 0.3 m and a message to this effect is printed.

An example of this keyword for a point source of 1 gram of the irradiated material at 1 metre is:
