Download or read book Sample Calculations of Gamma ray Penetration Into Shelters written by Martin J. Berger and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An approximate method is presented for calculating the penetration of gamma-radiation into shelters. Sample calculations, for an assumed source energy of 1 Mev, are given for the following problems: (1) dose rate inside houses and underground shelters whose roofs are covered with radioactive fall-out, and (2) dose rate in open holes due to reflected radiation (sky-shine) from fall-out contamination on the surrounding ground. A detailed examination is made of the dependence of the dose rate in a shelter on the shape of the shelter, and on the position of the detector within the shelter. The estimated accuracy of the calculations is #+ 30%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additional measurements at this same location were made to determine: (1) the skyshine dose rate as a function of distance from a cobalt-60 source placed on an air-ground interface: (2) the geometry factor describing a detector response to scattered gamma rays at the air-ground interface from a point isotropic cobalt-60 source on the ground 100 ft away; and (3) lip scatter and wall backscatter corrections for a detector in an open hole exposed to skyshine radiation from cobalt-60. The results apply to a variation of shielding problems. One practical application is the shielding provided by basement roofs and exposed basement walls from skyshine radiation originating from fallout.

Download or read book Experimental Evaluation of the Radiation Protection Afforded by Residential Structures Against Distributed Sources written by John A. Auxier and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made to obtain information that could be used to evaluate the protection afforded by residences against radiation due to fallout. The sources used were Co60 and Cs137, and the radiation dosimeters used were pocket type ionization chambers. Measurements were made for distributed sources (400 Co60 and 20 Cs037) and for single sources located inside the structures (one each, 2-curie Co60 and Cs137). Attenuation measurements were made for five houses of typical domestic design and construction. Several modifications were made to the houses, and the attenuation measurements were repeated. The houses, located at the Nevada Test Site, included single- and two-story houses with and without basements and with light and heavy walls. For comparison with the house data the dose-rate distribution above an extended plane source was measured in a "phantom" house, i.e., air measurements with the instrument fixed on a framework of thin- walled aluminum tubing. Although the complete analysis of the data is not yet available, some typical analyses are presented, and the effectiveness of some of the modifications is illustrated.
