In this paper, two models to establish the minimum exposure path in a randomly placed radioactive sources
enclosure are developed. The first model establishes the minimum exposure rate path and the second
establishes the normal, to the inlet and outlet surfaces, path that gives a minimum exposure. The path that
gives the least exposure is chosen. Although the point kernel technique is utilized and the enclosure is
assumed rectangular with randomly placed radioactive point sources, the
two models are independent techniques and can be easily incorporated with deterministic and statistical
methods as well as other types of enclosures and source geometries.
