Analysis of External Gamma Exposure

  • Published : 1997.05.01

Abstract

The effect of average gamma energy on the external radiation dose has been analyzed. Cloud- and groundshine have been calculated according to the average gamma energy. Monte Carlo integration method was used for the calculation of cloudshine and Romberg quadrature method was adopted for groundshine. The analysis shows that the external gamma exposure is strong]y dependent on the gamma energy and the distribution of radiation sources.
