Study conducted by Civil Effects Test Group of Atomic Energy Commission on shielding properties of concrete; radiation penetration was experimentally determined in stack of seven reinforced concrete slabs, each 6 ft sq by 3.2 in. thick; Geiger counters, detectors, and remote radiation system were used; dose rate under 3 in. of concrete was found to be 1/10 that at 9 ft above ground; each 6 in. of concrete reduced dose rate by additional factor of 1/10.
