Popis:	The possible use of models to study gamma radiation penetration of complex shielding configurations is discussed with reference to the limitations. An iron model with 2 to 3 Mev gamma rays may serve as a model of the relative intensities in thick concrete shields. Experiments were carried out in which the penetration of 7-Mev gamma rays through a concrete shield was compared with that of 2.62Mev gammas through an iron model constructed on a 1 : 5.8 scale. Various shield configurations were studied, including shields with straight holes and holes with bends. The results show excellent correspondence between the spectra. (D.L.C.)
