The Monte Carlo method is a tool of high importance in the contemporaneous context. Not only does its statistical approach allow estimating integrals and differentials equations that do not have an analytical solution, as it also allows that events of stochastic nature can be simulated. In this context, it will be explored the use of the method in the universe of ionizing radiation as a foundation of a project looking for the implementation of a metrology 4.0. In this sense, the following codes will be explored: GEANT4, EGSnrc, PENELOPE and MCNP exhibiting vantages and disadvantages concerning their use.
