title: Power lines and ionizing radiation.
abstract: The magnetic field and ionizing radiation dose rate were measured near ground level in the vicinity of a utility power line. The dose rate was monitored using thermoluminescence detectors. Measurements were made at distances up to about 100 m from the main transmission line from the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant while the plant was in operation and while the plant was shut down for refueling. No evidence was found that the dose rate is significantly different in the presence of the magnetic field from the power line than in its absence.
