| Abstract: | Present work formulated the new method to evaluate the EB spectrum and
hence Bremsstrahlung dose of beta nuclides (32P, 89Sr, 90Sr/90Y,
90Y, 40K, 61Co, 199Pt, 165Dy
and 101Tc) in concrete. The Bremsstrahlung yield of these beta
nuclides in concrete is also estimated. This estimated spectrum is accurate
because it is based on more accurate modified atomic number (Zmod) and seltzer’s data
where an electron-electron interaction is also included. Presented data in concrete
provide a quick and convenient reference for radiation protection. The present
methodology can be used to calculate the Bremsstrahlung dose in nuclear sheilding
materials. It can be quickly employed to give a first pass dose estimate prior
to a more detailed experimetal study. |
