• A G-factor for converting count rates into the dose rate was calculated.
• The dose rate spectroscopy was introduced by multiplying counts and a G-factor.
• The peak-to-total ratio at the dose rate spectroscopy was calculated.
• Individual dose rates for detected gamma nuclides were determined at the dose rate spectroscopy.
A spectrometric determination of the dose rate using a detector is a very useful method to identify the contribution of artificial nuclides. In addition, the individual dose rate for detected gamma nuclides from the radioactive materials as well as the environment can give further information such as the in-situ measurement because of the direct relation between the individual dose rate and the activity of a nuclide. In this study, the calculation method for the individual dose rate for detected gamma nuclides was suggested by introducing the concept of the dose rate spectroscopy and the peak-to-total ratio in the energy spectrum for the dose rate, which means just a form of multiplied counts and the value of a G-factor in the spectrum. In addition, the validity of the suggested method for the individual dose rate was experimentally verified through a comparison of the calculation results on the energy spectra for several conditions of the standard source.
