Introduction: Nuclear radiation is potentially harmful to humans and soil contamination with radionuclides is the main source of human radiation exposure. These radionuclides can., enter to human body through the food chain. In this study, 34 soil samples were collected from between Arak city and Shazand Power Plant over 20 km length and analyzed. Materials and Methods: The specific activities ...

Background For radiological protection and control, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) provides nominal risk coefficients related to radiation exposure, which can be extrapolated using excess relative absolute obtained from Life Span Study of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima Nagasaki with dose dose-rate effectiveness factor (DDREF). Materials Methods Since it is im...
