The spatial distribution of ambient gamma dose rates in a high-rise steel-reinforced concrete building in Fukushima, Japan, was examined relative to the gamma-ray emissions from building materials and radionuclides derived from the 2011 nuclear accident. The results revealed the minor role of accident-derived radionuclides in ambient gamma dose rates ~7 y after the accident. The ambient gamma dose rates were higher in the upper floors because of gamma-ray emissions from natural radionuclides in the floor slabs. The fractional contribution of natural radionuclides to the ambient gamma dose rates indicated compositional differences in concrete between the upper- and lower-floor slabs.
