The Monte Carlo method was used to investigate the dose distribution around a 3M Company model 6711 125I seed immersed in a water phantom. Dose rate per unit activity data are presented as a matrix of 63 points surrounding the seed. Relative dose data are presented graphically for two mutually perpendicular directions and compared with the corresponding data for the only other 125I seed currently available, the 3M Company model 6702 125I seed. The 6711 relative dose distribution decreases more rapidly with distance from the seed than does the 6702 relative dose distribution. Uncertainties in the 6711 seed dose distribution produced by end-weld thickness variations were investigated and found to be substantial at certain points.
