Abstract

A numerical analysis shows the contribution of beta and gamma radiation to the total dose intensity of fission products. The problem was solved for the case of an infinite plane covered with an ideally thin layer of isotope and for two different cases of absorption layers above this plane, 86 mg/cm2 and 650 mg/cm2. The different ages of the fission products were also considered. It was found that the beta radiation contribution to the total dose intensity predominates strongly in the case of the 86 mg/cm2 absorption layer and for the 650 mg/cm2 absorption layer it is comparable with the dose intensity of gamma radiation.
