Center for Dosimetric Modeling and Computation
In recognition of the Life Sciences Division's capabilities and scientific contributions in the area of human metabolic and biokinetic computational modeling, federal agencies concerned with occupational and public radiation protection formally recognized a "Center for Dosimetric Modeling and Computation" (CDMC) at ORNL. The primary mandate of the CDMC, which consists of staff from the Dosimetry Research Group in the Assessment Technology Section, is to centralize and coordinate computational human modeling capabilities and associated medical information in the United States. Dr. Keith Eckerman, Director of the Center, and the staff of the Dosimetry Research Group have been recognized leaders in the field of human computational modeling for radionuclides and recently served as the International Center for the Development of the ICRP Reference Man, which provided the calculational basis for dosimetric computation.
