Abstract;The dose rate around 1.7MV tandetron accelerator was measured. High dose rates of X-ray were detected from a ceasium sputter ion source. The dose rate was the order of 10.MU.Sv/hr. The spectrum of this X-ray has a peak at 25.8keV. This X-ray showed directivity. This X-ray is considered as the bremsstrahlung, which is generated by the collision of electron to extraction electrode. This situation was simulated and analysed by EGS4 code. X-ray emission from extraction electrode was found in all directions and the energy spectrum. After passing the wall of ion source, 1mm thickness of SUS304, the energy spectrum showed a single peak, which range was from 20 to 25keV. It is thought that the generation mechanism of X rays could be confirmed analytically. (author abst.)
