A new approach for determining ultraviolet (UV) dose distributions from biodosimetry data has been
developed. The approach is verified from a theoretical standpoint using models of reactor
performance predicted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and verified experimentally using validation data measured
using MS2 and T1 phage. The approach can be used to define dose monitoring by UV reactors
that directly predicts pathogen log inactivation, accounting for the inactivation kinetics of the
target microbe. By accounting for the inactivation kinetics of the pathogen, the approach
eliminates the need to apply a RED bias uncertainty factor to dose monitoring. Includes reference, figures.
