Measurement of absorbed dose rate of gamma radiation for lead compounds

An attempt has been made to estimate the absorbed dose rate using both theoretical and measured mass energy attenuation coefficient of gamma for the lead compounds such as PbNO3, PbCl2, PbO2 and PbO using various gamma sources such as Na-22 (511, 1274), Cs-132 (661.6), Mn-54 (835) and Co-60 (1173, 1332 key).
