Recombination chambers and 2202D Studsvik-Alnor reference remmeter were used for determination of ambient dose equivalent, H*(10) and its neutron and gamma components at the door to the maze of 15 MV medical accelerator. The measurements were performed at opened and partly closed door. The results showed that the ambient dose equivalent rate was 76.2 µSv h -1 at the opened door and only 2.7 µSv h -1 at slightly opened door, 2.5 m from the entrance to the maze.
