Gamma Shooting of the Territory of Municipal Landfill of the Dushanbe City

The rearrangement of Municipal landfill of Dushanbe city has begun; in this connection the gamma and neutron shooting of territory of landfill has been made. The landfill territory has been divided into 128 routes, and it has been conducted 5691 measurements of gamma background. The gamma background in territory is defined by background from environing soils 0.18±0.02 μZv/h and background from low-active wastes 0.11±0.02 μZv/h. During conducting gamma shooting the ownerless gamma source Cesium-137, with equivalent dose rate 40 μZv/h, has been detected. For localization and source extraction specialists of Committee on emergency situations under government RT and Agency on Radiation and Nuclear Safety at Academy of Sciences RT have been invited. Fluency of neutrons on surface does not exceed background values and that testifies about absence of neutron sources.
