Introduction: Considering the risk of radiation, the measurement of the natural radiation sources seems to be necessary. In this study, the concentrations of the natural radionuclides, namely 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K, were measured in the soil samples taken from different locations of Golestan, Iran. The measurement results can also be used as a baseline to evaluate the impact of non-nuclear activ...

A study on natural radioactivity in virgin and agricultural soil samples collected from Sungai Petani was conducted using high-purity germanium. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in virgin soils were 51.06±5.83, 78.44±6.42, and 125.66±7.26 Bq kg−1, respectively, while those in agricultural soils were 80.63±5.78, 116.87±7.87, and 200.66±18.24 Bq kg−1, respectively. The co...

Abstract Compared with other methods for measuring radioactivity in water, liquid scintillation measurement has the outstanding advantages of fast sample pretreatment, simple method and high detection efficiency. Based on spectrometer (SIM-MAX LSA3000B), 14 C 90 Sr- Y are selected as typical nuclides to study change TDCR quenching correction curve under different activity concentrations, basic ...
