Description
The measurements of absorbed dose rate in air around amang plant buildings were carried out using a scintillation detector. It was found that the mean radiation levels at seven amang plants were in the range of 1.6 - 5.5 μGyh-1. The individual maximum value measured was 56 μGyhr-1. The annual dose to a worker transporting the minerals to the plant was estimated to be 1.5 mSvy-1. (Author)
