In this paper we present the study of gamma ray streaming through an annular cylindrical duct from an infinite plane source. A rigorous formulation based on the ray-analysis procedure has been developed to compute the resultant dose in the vicinity of the duct exit. A parametric study has been carried out to evaluate the accuracies obtained with the present rigorous treatment as compared to the simple formula developed for hand-calculations. Attempts are being made to incorporate the scattering component to the dose at the exit, in our present study.
