Résumé

Internal Bremsstrahlung (IB) is a continuous electromagnetic radiation accompanying beta decay; however, this process is not considered in radiation protection studies, particularly when estimating exposure from beta-decaying radionuclides. The aims of the present work are: i) to show that neglecting the IB process in Monte Carlo (MC) simulation leads to an underestimation of the energy deposited in a ionization chamber, in the case of a high-energy pure beta emitter such as Yttrium-90 (
