It is demonstated that a simple equivalent sphere model reproduces the results of comprehensive dose analyses that employ a detailed man model, with an accuracy sufficient for dose assessments. A correlation has been established analytically that holds for the full range of observed solar proton spectra and for a range of vehicle shielding worths Equivalent sphere model parameters are presented for the blood forming organs, the gastro-intestinal tract, and the testes.
