Abstract:

Natural and artificial radionuclides in the surface soil samples collected from the Nevşehir (Cappadocia) region were analyzed using gamma spectrometry employing an HPGe detector. Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K range from 58.31 to 77.40 Bq kg−1, 60.56 to 90.97 Bq kg-1, and 796.42 to 1142.8 Bq kg-1, respectively. The values indicate that the activity concentrations of the natural radionuclides in the soil samples were higher than the world average.

Abstract:

Radionuclides such as uranium, thorium and potassium have existed in the environment since the world's existence. It is important to know the distribution of these radionuclides in terms of human health and environmental protection. For this reason, the measurements of these natural radionuclides were made for the 6 stone samples extracted in the province of Burdur. To measure the natural activity concentrations of potassium-40, radium-226 and thorium-232 radionuclides, a gamma spectrometry method was used with a NaI (T1) detector which is a multichannel analytical detector in the gamma spectr
