This paper reports that the flux type concrete dose albedo for normally incident gamma rays is approximately a function of gamma energy only, regardless of the emerging angles. The flux type albedo for normally emerging gamma rays is also roughly a constant value over a wide range of incident angles for gamma energy greater than 0.66 MeV. Two concrete albedo curves are plotted as a function of gamma energy for a convenient estimation of the scatter dose rate.
