abstract = {During the operation of research facilities at Research
Centre Jülich, Germany, nuclear waste is stored in drums
and other vessels in an interim storage building on-site,
which has a concrete shielding at the side walls. Owing to
the lack of a well-defined source, measured gamma spectra
were unfolded to determine the photon flux on the surface of
the containers. The dose rate simulation, including the
effects of skyshine, using the Monte Carlo transport code
MCNP is compared with the measured dosimetric data at some
locations in the vicinity of the interim storage building.
The MCNP data for direct radiation confirm the data
calculated using a point-kernel method. However, a
comparison of the modelled dose rates for direct radiation
and skyshine with the measured data demonstrate the need for
a more precise definition of the source. Both the measured
and the modelled dose rates verified the fact that the legal
limits (<1 mSv a(-1)) are met in the area outside the
perimeter fence of the storage building to which members of
the public have access. Using container surface data (gamma
spectra) to define the source may be a useful tool for
practical calculations and additionally for benchmarking of
computer codes if the discussed critical aspects with
respect to the source can be addressed adequately.},
