Abstract: A computer model of a murine rodent has been developed for use in dosimetric calculations. The model is based on information from scientific sources regarding anatomical features of animals' body and skeleton, as well as the structure and chemical composition of bones and bone marrow. The Geant4 software library, designed for the simulation of nuclear physics processes, was used in creating the model. The developed model enables realistic simulation of ⁹⁰Sr internal irradiation processes of murine rodent bone marrow, corresponding to the exposure of animals under natural conditions of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone ecosystems.
