The aim of this work is to highlight the undisputable needs and the suitability of computational physics in ionizing radiation metrology. In this matter, a new young research group has been developed within the Department of Radioisotopes and Radiation Metrology (DRMR) from Horia Hulubei National Institute for R&D in Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH), Romania. The above-mentioned research group named “MetroMC” (Monte Carlo in Metrology) is marking the start point of its research activity, in this actual form, through this paper. For this purpose, a simple theoretical experiment has been performed in order to compare the results obtained by approaching the same problem by various Monte Carlo codes that are currently being used by the group members (MCNP, GEANT4, and EGSnrs).
