title: Solutions to the Gaussian cloud approximation for gamma absorbed dose.
abstract: Analytical solutions of the dose rate integral for the Gaussian cloud approximation to the Gaussian plume were developed. A solution for the I1 integral for a ground-level source and for the I2 integral for an elevated source were given in terms of special functions. The I2 solution was also extended for the Berger buildup factor. These enable rapid computation of I1 and I2 to estimate the dose rate.
