Dose estimation for skyshine plays an important role in the evaluation of the environment around nuclear facilities. We performed calculations for the skyshine radiation from a Hokkaido University 45 MeV linear accelerator using a general purpose user's version of the EGS4 Monte Carlo Code. To verify accuracy of the code, the simulation results have been compared with our experimental results, in which a gated counting method was used to measure low-level pulsed leakage radiation. In experiment, measurements were carried out up to 600 m away from the LINAC. The simulation results are consistent with the experimental values at the distance between 100 and 400 m from the LINAC. However, agreements of both results up to 100 m from the LINAC are not as good because of the simplification of geometrical modeling in the simulation. It could be said that it is useful to apply this version to the calculation for skyshine.
