Although the soil

data indicate trace amounts of other gamma emitters, such as 1258p, 155Eu
and 2hlarn, calculations of exposure rates based on the observed soil con-

centrations indicate that these nuclides contribute at most an additional

3-5% to the exposure rate, and Mere therefore neglected.

Local anomalies,

for example due to scrap,were also ignored under the assumption that they

Integral 5, 10, 30 and 70 year gamma-ray doses for each age group were
calculated for each case shown in Table 1.
