In safety analysis of nuclear facilities, skyshine dose rate at site boundary is one of the most important shielding design problems. For nuclear power stations in Japan, the skyshine dose rate at the site boundary has been specified not to exceed 5 mR/yr by the authorities, including total dose contribution from all structures on site, and this guide is commonly applied to other nuclear fuel cycle facilities. Therefore the design criterion dose of each structure on site is, considering plot planning, shielding condition, and so on, defined as a value <5 mR/yr. The purpose of this study is to investigate how skyshine dose standards or other factors have an influence on the design of nuclear facilities, in a parametric survey of gamma-ray skyshine.
