The results were tabulated; however, it was not clear how the comparison between the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport System, ICRP 60, and ICRP 103 was performed, what test was used, and the level of significance. Even in Table 7 that summarizes the results, this is not clear.

The abbreviations throughout the article need to be identified. It is recommended to add an abbreviation section to the article.

The abstract section is better structured as Background, Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.

In the abstract section, the authors mentioned that the absorbed doses to the bone marrow obtained from the model calculations were not significantly different from ICRP 60 and ICRP 103 for β nuclides. Still, they were much lower than previously estimated for α nuclides. Going through the study, it was not clear how this significant difference was assessed. Please revise and clarify.

The abbreviation “SAFs” in the keyword section and the last paragraph of the Introduction section should be identified as the “specific absorbed fractions.”

The abbreviation “PHITS” in the keyword section and the first line of the fourth page should be identified as ”Particle and Heavy Ion Transport System.”

The abbreviation “keV” in the last line of the second paragraph of the seventh page should be identified as “kilo electron-volt.”

In the last line of the second paragraph of the seventh page, please identify “Bremsstrahlung” as a type of X-radiation emitted by charged particles when they collide or are near an atomic nucleus.

The abbreviation “EGS” in the last line of the second paragraph of the seventh page should be identified as “Electron Gamma Shower.”

The abbreviation “Bq” in the first line of the last paragraph of the seventh page should be identified as “The International System of Units (SI) unit of radionuclide activity is the becquerel (Bq); 1 Bq = 1 transformation/second.”

First line, page 10: Please correct “131” to “131I.”

Page 16, Discussion section, last line of the first paragraph: The authors mentioned that the number of decays in each compartment changed significantly; how did the authors assess this significant change and conclude it? Please explain the tests used for comparison.

Page 16, Discussion section, eighth line of the second paragraph: Please revise “ICRP133 SAF” (mentioned in the Results section as “ICRP103 SAF”).

Page 17, last line of the first paragraph: “Sakota et al” should be corrected to “Sakoda et al.”
