If you use the Tool to create DCC values for new organisms or new radionuclides you will also see these. The DCC DCCs in the database are broken down into radiation type and exposure route.

...

If you have DCC values generated outside of the Tool, which you want to compare with those in the Tool, then why not do this in Excel? If you do not want the DCC ERICA DCCs split into radiation type you can generate an 'overall' DCC by running the Tool. For instance, for the external DCC for soil you would input a value of 1 Bq/kg in soil and input 0 as the activity concentration in your organism(s), to determine the internal DCC input 1 Bq/kg as the organism activity concentration and 0 as the soil, water or sediment activity concentration, etc..
