title: Generalised photon skyshine calculations.
abstract: The energy-dependent dose contributions from monoenergetic photon source points located 1.5 m above the ground have been tabulated. These values are intended to be used for regulatory compliance with site boundary dose limitations and as such are all presented in effective dose units. Standard air and soil are modelled where the air has vertical density gradient approximation. Energies from 0.05 up to 10 MeV are evaluated for dose transport up to 40 mean free paths.
