FLUKA (FLUktuierende KAskade) is a fully integrated Monte Carlo simulation package for the interaction and transport of particles and nuclei in matter.[2][3][4][5] FLUKA has many applications in particle physics, high energy experimental physics and engineering, shielding, detector and telescope design, cosmic ray studies,[6] dosimetry,[7] medical physics, radiobiology. A recent line of development concerns hadron therapy.[8][9]

FLUKA software code is used by Epcard, which is a software program for simulating radiation exposure on airline flights.[10]
