Abstract: The RED-100 experiment with a liquid xenon target was carried out at Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. The goal of the experiment is the detection and study of the coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering process (CE$\nu$NS) for the low-energy antineutrinos in close vicinity to a reactor core. A good understanding of the external radioactive background is needed to achieve this goal. This paper describes the external background conditions for the RED-100 experiment at Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant.<br />Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, (minor changes in the text for clarity)
