In this work calculations of the spatial distributions of gamma dose rate near typical radioactive waste containers are performed. Calculations are carried out using TDMCC. Transport and storage containers are considered with different waste containing 137Cs and 60Co (light concrete, porous concrete, soil).

Dose rate values presented in tabular and graphical forms correspond to the points at the container surface and at distances up to 2 meters in radial and axial directions and are normalized to unit and integral activity. Examples of using these normalized values to determine dose rates at different distances from container surface for different input data are given.
