The method of calculation of the effective dose equivalent for external neutron and photon radiation are presented. Adjoint transport Monte-Carlo code ROBOT is used to calculate fluence-to-effective dose conversion function for MIRD phantoms. Two broad neutron and photon beam irradiations were chosen frontally and isotropically. The effective dose conversion functions are presented and good agreement is shown with Monte-Carlo calculation by other authors. The received data can be used in a new rates of radiation safety.
