title: Terrestrial gamma radiation dose in Hong Kong.
abstract: The first reactor of the Daya Bay nuclear power plant, 30 km from Hong Kong, is expected to begin operation in 1992. As a result, residents in Hong Kong are concerned with potential exposure to man-made and natural radiation. Therefore, the Radioisotope Unit of the University of Hong Kong performed studies to estimate Hong Kong's natural background radiation and the potential exposure to local residents, the results of which are presented here.
