Measurement of Natural Radioactivity in Certain Types of Nut Samples in Iraq
Introduction: The present study was conducted to measure the specific activities of 226Ra,232Th and 40K, in some samples of nuts collected from the local markets in Iraq. In addition, this study sought to calculate the annual effective dose of gamma ray to children and adults. Material and Methods: The quantification of radionuclides was accomplished by gamma spectrometry NaI (Tl) detector. Res...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity assessment in soil samples from Kirkuk city of Iraq using HPGe detector
Background: Inspection of the level of radioactivity from radionuclides in soil is important for the assessment of the exposure to natural radiation. Materials and Methods: Ten samples from soil were collected from different sites of Kirkuk-IRAQ and the level of natural radioactivity was measured using gamma-ray spectrometry based on a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Results: It was foun...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity in rock samples of Aravali hills in India
Background: Natural radionuclides in rock samples, primarily 238U (uranium), 232Th (thorium) and 40K (potassium), are the main source of radiation exposure to workers and general public and their measurement is of paramount importance from radiation protection point of view. Materials and Methods: Gamma spectrometry using HPGe detector was used to measure the radioactivity and assess the radiol...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity in Indian vegetation samples
Background: Vegetation (food stuff) is grown in soil that contains many radioactive elements such as 238U (uranium), 232Th (thorium) and 40K (potassium), which may get deposited either due to radioactive fallout or/and by absorption from the soil and can pose serious health hazards. Materials and Methods: Natural radioactivity, radiological hazards and annual effective dose assessment was carri...
