| Abstract |
A field study was executed to determine environmental levels, distribution, and composition of turbine-contributed 16N gamma radiation from an operating boiling water reactor electric generating plant. Exposure measurements made with Pressurized Ionization Chambers (PIC's) at several distances and in several directions from the turbine building indicated that 16N 'skyshine' rather than direct gamma exposures contributed the major portion of environmental exposures. Power level and distance dependencies were determined and a predictive model indicated that a distance of 500 meters and a power level of 801 MW(e) would yield a dose rate of 10 mrad/yr. |
