Abstract

Bolus is a radiotherapy device used to increase the surface dose in the skin surface area when using electron or photon beams. The most commonly used bolus is a bolus made from plasticine, in addition to a plasticine bolus there is also a bolus made from silicone rubber which is currently being developed. This study aims to determine which bolus is more effectively used in radiotherapy, by comparing the absorbed dose, the value of Relative Electron Density (RED), and the transmission factor of each bolus. In this study, silicone rubber and plasticine boluses were made with dimensions of 12 cm x 12 cm, the variation of energy used in LINAC was 9 MeV and 12 MeV and the thickness variation of each bolus was 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm, 1, 5 cm and 2.0 cm. The RED value obtained from the plasticine bolus for a thickness of 0.5 cm is 0.837 g/cm3, a thickness of 1.0 cm is 1.011 g/cm3, a thickness of 1.5 cm is 1.06 g/cm3, and a thickness of 2.0 cm of 1.072 g/cm3, while for silicone rubber bolus for a thickness of 0.5 cm is 1.146 g/cm3, a thickness of 1.0 cm is 1.151 g/cm3, a thickness of 1.5 cm is 1.17 g/cm3, and a thickness of 1.5 cm is 1.17 g/cm3 2.0 cm is 1.193 g/cm3. From the results of the study for the RED value of each bolus, it can be concluded that the silicone rubber bolus has a RED value that is more consistent with the water density value compared to the plasticine bolus. Silicone rubber and plasticine boluses can also be said to be absorbent materials because the transmission factor value of both boluses is below 100%. From the results of the study, silicone rubber boluses were more able to reduce the range of absorbed doses compared to plasticine boluses.

Abstract

Solok Selatan is one of the areas in West Sumatra that has geothermal potential, contains much higher levels of radioactive substances in the soil in the form of Radium (Ra-226), Thorium (Th-232), and Potassium (K-40).  This study aimed to measure the concentration of Ra-226. Th-232, and K-40 contained in the soil in the Solok Selatan which was then reviewed based on PERKA BAPETEN No. 9 of 2009 and UNSCEAR 2000, also evaluates the average radium equivalent activity (Raeq), representative level index (Iyr), external hazard index (Hex). Soil samples were collected from seven different locations. The radionuclide activity concentration was measured by using a gamma spectrometer in the PTKMR BATAN laboratory, with the results of the average radionuclide measurement Ra-226 being 28.58  Bq/kg, Th-232 was 44.74  Bq/kg and K-40 at 323.29  Bq/kg. For the average value of Raeq is 118,051 Bq/kg, Iyr is 0.853 and Hex is 0.335. Based on BAPETEN PERKA No. 9 of 2009 and UNSCEAR 2000, the radionuclide activity concentration was found still within safe limits. It does not pose a health hazard to the people living in the area.
