空间辐射对空间站航天员的剂量影响分析

Analysis of the dose effect of space radiation to astronauts on the space station

  • 摘要: 为有效实施对航天员的空间辐射防护,采用计算机断层扫描数据(CT)建立了精细化男性体素模型;基于Geant4建立蒙特卡罗程序计算空间站轨道辐射经过舱壁(5 g·cm-2等效铝屏蔽)后在体模中的辐射剂量;分析了不同辐射粒子在体素模型组织或器官中的吸收剂量、当量剂量和有效剂量。计算结果表明:航天员体内吸收剂量大约80%来源于地球辐射带(ERB)质子;大约14%来源于银河宇宙线(GCR)质子;α粒子的剂量贡献占比约为5%;其余重离子的剂量贡献占比在1%左右。另外,航天员吸收的当量剂量和有效剂量50%左右来自于ERB质子,另50%左右来自于GCR粒子。计算结果将有助于评估航天员在空间站舱内的潜在辐射风险并提供辐射防护参考。

     

    Abstract: In order to effectively protect astronauts from space radiation, a finely detailed male voxel phantom was created using computed tomography (CT) data. A Monte Carlo program based on Geant4 was established to calculate orbital radiation doses in the phantom after the radiation passing through the module wall of the space station (equivalent to 5 g·cm-2 of aluminum shielding). The absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and effective dose of various radiation particles in the voxel phantom's tissues or organs were analyzed. The results show that approximately 80% of the absorbed dose in astronauts is from Earth radiation belt (ERB) protons; approximately 14% is from galactic cosmic ray (GCR) protons; and alpha particles accounted for about 5% of the dose contribution; the contribution of other heavy ions to the absorbed dose was around 1%. In addition, approximately 50% of equivalent dose and effective dose received by astronauts came from ERB protons, while the other 50% came from GCR. The calculation results will aid in evaluating the potential radiation risks received by astronauts aboard the space station and provide a reference for radiation protection.
