Estimation of natural background gamma radiation dose in the environs of uranium mineralized area: A case study at Megavath Thanda, Nalgonda district, Telangana state, India

The ambient background activity of gamma radiation was measured in the nearby village Meghavath Thanda, surroundings upcoming uranium mineralized site, with active and passive methods. estimated average absorbed dose ranging f from 1818 to 2296 µGy.y−1 an 2105 ± 142 µGy.y−1. radioactive elemental analysis collected soil samples area shows that 238U 232Th is higher than global associated index parameters are well within limits. effective study region owing found be 1.47 0.10 mSv.y−1.
