Book Description
A solution to the problem of how one may determine the dose received by a detector that has a vertical barrier interposed between it and a horizontal infinite radiation field has been attempted. Steel barriers of effective mass thickness 0 to 73 lb/ft]2 were employed. The detector was collimated so that regardless of its distance from the barrier it always saw a constant circular area on the barrier. The infinite radiation field was simulated by a traveling Co]60 source that was pumped through an array of plastic tubing that covered a 100-ft semicircular area. An extrapolation to the infinite field case attempted. The final results are expressed as ratios of dose received by an unprotected detector 3 ft above the plane. The experimental points are compared to a family of theoretical curves.

Barrier Attenuation of Air-scattered Gamma Radiation

Category : Attenuation (Physics)
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
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.
