Alert Monitor 4, calibrated by Cesium 137 (137Cs) every month during one year in order to detect natural
background radiation rate exposed by man around base station in Yalvaç. Measurements have been taken
in every day on condition of three times (in the morning, at noon and in the evening) during a year. Annual
arithmetic mean radiation dose changing from 1.92 to 2.27 mSv/year have been obtained and compared with
radiation dose limits of a body <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Cankaya University}
