Abstract

An expression has been derived for the γ-ray dose rate at an external point on the axis due to a spheroidal source with uniform distribution of radioactivity. The values for the spheroidal source have been compared with those of point, spherical and cylindrical sources. The effect of change of geometrical configuration on the dose rate has been studied in detail using an IBM-1620 computer.
