Abstract
In this study, it was determined environmental gamma radiation dose rate for some counties of Trabzon-Turkey A detailed ambient gamma close measurement has been performed in the seven counties of Trabzon, using a portable environmental survey meter (NaI detector, INSPECTOR 1000). The measurements were performed indoor and outdoor of buildings and also at each spot, a reading was taken at 1 in above ground level The dose rates varied from 42 69 nGy/h and 140 91 nGy/h for indoor gamma dose and 27 84 nGy/h and 121.80 nGy/h for outdoor gamma dose. Average indoor and outdoor gamma dose rates were ascertained to be 71 05 nGy/h and 60 20 nGy/h, respectively. The annual effective doses were calculated from indoor and outdoor gamma doses to be 348 56 mu Sv/y and 73.83 mu Sv/y, respectively.
