ABSTRACT
It is important to measure and protect from the radiation space dose and induced activity at the high energy medical linear accelerator facilities. These are to consider the additional risk to patients undergoing treatment, machine operators and staff members. Measurements of the space dose distribution and induced radioactivity at the 18 MeV medical linear accelerator facility in the Yonsei Cancer Center. 1. Exposure space dose for 300 rads monitor doses of 18 MeV electron are measured as 50 mR at 1 meter from patients. 2. Exposure space dose for 300 rads monitor doses of 10 MV X-ray are detected as 350 mR at 1 meter from phantom. 3. Induced radioactivity by photonuclear reaction was measured as 0.65 mR/hr from collimater after 30 Gy(3,000 rads) irradiated. 4. Analyzing the decay curves and energy spectrum of induced radioactivity, detected a few materials to be activated by photoneutron reaction, $^{65}Cu({gamma}{cdot}n);^{64}Cu,;^{186}W({gamma}{cdot}n);^{185}W,;^{181}Ta({gamma}{cdot}n);^{180}Ta,;^{199}Au({gamma}{cdot}n);^{198}Au$.
