Photon spectra were measured inside and outside a house in Minami-Soma city by using a NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer. The photons were categorized into three groups according to their energy. The groups were (1) scattered photons, which include low energy photons, (2) direct photons from 
Cs and 
Cs sources and (3) the other photons. Then the ratios of the ambient dose equivalents H
(10) of the scattered photons to those of the direct photons from the Cs and Cs sources have been evaluated from the measured photon spectra. The ratios are high inside the house compared with those out of the house. It was found that the scattered photons contribute to the H(10) by more than 50
inside the house. The ambient dose equivalent average energies of the scattered photons are around 0.25 MeV both inside and outside the house. These data is worthwhile to design the optimum shielding for the protection against the public radiation exposure.

A easy-to-use -ray spectrometry technique have been developed using a hand-held NaI(Tl) spectrometer and the MAXED unfolding code. The -ray spectra in the living environment were measured inside and outside the house at the Minami-Soma city in the Fukushima prefecture. It was found that the dose contribution of the low energy photons is large inside the house compared with those measured outside the house.
