Abstract :
A Portable environmental radiation monitoring system which is able to monitor both a scintillation detector and a high pressure ion chamber was developed. We applied Mourich´s spectrum-dose rate conversion(G(E) method) for measurement of dose rate and Beck´s energy band for natural radiation dose rate of Nal(Tl) Detector. Also man-made radiation dos rate against nuclear power plant such as Cs-137, Mn-54, C0- 58, Co-60, Ir-192 was measured.
