| Abstract: | Transmitted dose
through different thicknesses of ordinary concrete placed at different
distances from the target has been evaluated using simple Moyer model. It has
been observed that though the projectile energy is low, significant neutron and
gamma doses are produced at beam currents as high as 500 mA for protons. Some radioisotopes with half-lives of the order of a
few months are produced with activities of the order 1010-1011
