Abstract
Large concrete pipes were used as shielding material for thermoluminescent dosimeter (CaSO 4:Dy) monitoring posts to reduce background interference. The optimum size of present available concrete shielding is presented. A full description of a plastic monitoring post is also given. The field testing was performed at a site having three research reactors and a radioisotope production laboratory during hot and cold seasons of semitropical type weather in North Taiwan. The reduction in background may reach about 35% in hot summer time and is a function of pipe size.
