This paper discusses the evaluation of performance of the Atmel Atmega328 under exposure of Cobalt-60(Co-60) source. Geant4 software is used to simulate the passage of particles through matter and calculate the absorb dose rate using Monte Carlo Methods. In the simulation using the Geant4 software,...
