5. References for amount of radiation due to concrete: PBS site refers to 70 microsieverts per year and and the normal amount annually is approximately 3.65 millisievert so the dose is relatively low. (1 sievert = 100 rem which are both measurement units) | 5.

These cosmic detectors where built mainly for cosmic rays and not beta decay but research said that scintillators should pick up beta decay also. |
