Photon energy spectra were measured above the operating floor of unit 3 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station by using a CdZnTe semiconductor spectrometer. The spectrometer was installed in a lead collimator to measure the photons from the area directly below the detector. The collimator and spectrometer were lifted up by a huge crane and set above the operating floor. The photon spectra were derived by unfolding the pulse height spectra measured using the spectrometer. The response function of the spectrometer was calculated with the MCNP-4C code and was used as an input parameter of the unfolding code MAXED. It was found from the photon energy spectra that low-energy photons with energy below 0.4 MeV were dominant above the operating floor. These spectra are fundamental data for evaluating the dose reduction effect by setting up shields on the operating floor.
