The measurements were carried out in 20 locations within the town using portable Digilert 50 Nuclear Radiation monitor. The absorbed dose rates obtained ranges from 26.6-48.6 nGy h-1 with a mean value 37.19 nGy h-1. The estimated annual effective dose is 0.46 mSv. This value is less than annual dose unit of 1 mSv recommended by UNSCEA for normal environment. Keywords: Ionizing radiation;absorbed dose;environment;effective dose;value
