| description | In the reactor operation, neutrons and gamma rays are the most dominant radiation.
As protection, lead and concrete shields are built around the reactor. However, the radiation
can penetrate the water shielding inside the reactor pool. This incident leads to the occurrence
of sky shine where a physical phenomenon of nuclear radiation sources was transmitted
panoramic that extends to the environment. The effect of this phenomenon is caused by the
fallout radiation into the surrounding area which causes the radiation dose to increase. High
doses of exposure cause a person to have stochastic effects or deterministic effects. Therefore,
this study was conducted to measure the radiation dose from sky shine effect that scattered
around the reactor at different distances and different height above the reactor platform. In this
paper, the analysis of the radiation dose of sky shine effect was measured using the
experimental method |
