In this paper a simulated phantom of adult human body using Monte<br />

Carlo method and MCNP code, is used for the neutron effective dose<br />

equivalent calculation. The plasma focus device emits neutrons with<br />

2.45 MeV energy in D-D fusion reactions. Effective dose equivalent is<br />

calculated in four geometry, AP, PA, LLAT, RLAT, for some organs by<br />

the weight coefficients of radiation and the tissue weight factor<br />

reported by ICRP. The results are compared by the occupational<br />

exposures effective dose equivalent recommended by ICRP.<br />
