Abstract

Terrestrial gamma radiation dose (TGRD) rate measurement has been conducted around downtown region of Central Jakarta Indonesia. The real time count data was taken 1 m above the ground in eight sub district locations by using a portable gamma Surveymeter of Exploranium GR-135 Plus Model. The reading position was detemined using Garmin GPSMAP 62s. The average value of TGRD rate of (47.76 ± 18.24) nSv h-1 ranged from 6.40 nSv h-1 to 120.90 nSv-1, it is higher than Indonesia. The annual effective dose rate of 0.058 mSv. Its contributes to fatal cancer risk of about 3.22 x 10-5 per year for each individual in Central Jakarta. For the subdistrict TGRD rate value was variated, however all the result is not high enough to cause for alarm.
