The primary aim of this evaluation is to define the radiation level on performing the measurement quantitatively. Three different methods were applied during this process, including simulating by FORTRAN code, measuring by Geiger Muller Counter and calculating with the activity data we had obtained. The simulation provided us an initial value range the radiation would lie in prior to our real operation. It acted as a guide. Measuring the dose rate by handheld Geiger Muller Counter provided the real radiation level during the experiment and can be used to reconfirm the safety condition of the experiment attendant. However, due to the fact that only copper sample from 9 MeV was detected by the Geiger Muller Counter, situation for other energy levels would be predicted by the calculation attempt. We also tried to build a calculation method that could be used more widely.
