Abstract

This Letter announces the official correction of five potential errors in NRCDose3 Version 1.1.4, previously reported by Chang and Cheong (Journal of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology, 2025). Occurring in the GASPAR and LADTAP modules when applying dose factors from International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 72, these errors have been resolved in the newly released Version 1.1.5 through code modification. Verification using the KHU Code confirmed that the updated version produces consistent results with relative errors within approximately 1%. Therefore, users are strongly advised to adopt Version 1.1.5 for accurate and reliable dose assessment. Users who continue to operate Version 1.1.4 should continue applying the correction methods provided in the previous paper to ensure analytical accuracy.
