Popis: A method is offered for measuring gamma absorption from a point source by large objects. Cases in which the point source is placed at the center of a sphere and on the axis of a cylinder are analyzed. In the latter case, absorption can be recorded from two sides of the cylinder divided by a plane passing through the point source and perpendicular to the cylinder axis. This holds true for absorption of both initial and scattered radiation. The total absorption in the cylinder is the sum of absorption from all parts of the cylinder. The results yield not only the magnitude of the absorbed energy but also the magnitude of the newly introduced accumulation factor of the integral energy flux (B/sub f/), which indicates what part of the radiation is emitted from the absorber as scattered radiation. The magnitude of B/sub f/ can be further used for calculating energy absorption with sources and absorbers of various configurations. (R.V.J.)
