Table 1.

Comparison between perturbation model (PMODEL) or Eq. (7) and FMC perturbation for case #1. If a straight line from the active source to calculation points intersects the surrounding dummies, those dummies have effect on the P‐ value. This style is applicable for 125I and 192Ir. The maximum differences between the P‐values under FMCWS (PFMCWS) and (PMODEL) for 192Ir and 125I are less than 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively. The MC statistic uncertainties are at most 2%.
