 | The following summarizes the monitoring results of the surroundings of research reactorslocated at Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) and National Tsing-Hua University(NTHU) during the third quarter in 2011. Analytic number of samples is 191. |
 | Direct radiation:With thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD), the gamma dose rates around INER werebetween 0.054 and 0.083 μSv/h, and those around NTHU were between 0.050 and 0.063μSv/h respectively. All the data are within the variation of environmental backgroundradiation. |
 | With gamma radiation monitoring network, the gamma dose rates around INER werebetween 0.057 and 0.096 μSv/h. All the data are within the variation of environmental |
 | background radiation. |
 | Airborne particulates:Gross beta activities were between 0.14 and 0.99 mBq/m3. With gamma spectrometry, no |
 | man-made radionuclides were found. |
 | Grass and Plants:Gross beta activities were between 58 and 202 Bq/kg‧fresh. With gamma spectrometry, no |
 | man-made radionuclides were found. |
 | Water (including drinking water, underground water, lake and river water):Gross beta activities were between 18 and 338 mBq/ L. Tritium analyses were below MDA. |
 | With gamma spectrometry, no man-made radionuclides were found. |
 | Agricultural products:With gamma spectrometry, no man-made radionuclides were found in tea leaves, rice and |
 | vegetables, etc. |
 | Cumulative effect samples (including soil and sediment in the lakes of NTHU):With gamma spectrometry, the activity of Cs-137 was between MDA and 2.6 Bq/kg • dry in |
 | soil. No man-made radionuclides were found in river sand. The activity of Co-60 wasbetween MDA and 2.4 Bq/kg • dry, and the activity of Cs-137 was between MDA and 20 |
 | Bq/kg • dry in sediment from the Lotus and Kun-Ming Pond of NTHU. |
 | Based on the monitoring results of the surroundings of the National Tsing-Hua Universityand Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, the maximal personal dose of each location isassessed and found to be lower than the dose limit. |
