Description

This paper presents the measurement results of gross β activities in fallout samples collected from the environment around Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) during 1993-2002. The gross β activity of 191 samples collected at five monitoring spots were (0.11-3.64) Bq·m-2·d-1, with an average of (0.91 ± 0.49) Bq·m-2·d-1. This value was lower than (1.02 ± 0.35) Bq·m-2·d-1, the average of the samples collected at the reference spot in Hangzhou. It indicated that no obvious rise in the gross β activity level of fallout was observed in ambience of Qinshan NPP. (authors)
