Abstract
A gamma ray transport program using a Monte Carlo method was developed for investigating the physical properties of gamma ray fields in the natural environment. The program was intended for easy and effective calculations on environmental gamma rays. Comparison of the calculated results with experimental data and other calculated data were made under selected source conditions to verify the program, and good agreement was observed.
