The study presented in this paper aims to explain the influence of scintillation detector size
on spectrometric parameters. For this purpose, a setup composed of 1.5”× 1.5”, 2”× 2” and …

In situ and sampling measurements of naturally occurring radionuclides were investigated in
terrestrial sediment in various environments. These environments include beaches …

This work constitutes the first survey that allows the establishment of baseline levels of
environmental radioactivity in beach sands from the volcanic oceanic islands of La Graciosa …

Gamma-ray detection systems are exposed to extreme environments during in situ
measurements and the NaI (TI)-detectors in these systems are frequently subjected to …

Erosion and accumulation of coastal areas have become an increasing concern in recent
years since they can result in important social and economic problems. In this framework …

Naturally occurring radionuclides are the main generator of geothermal energy in the Earth's
crust and mantle. The generated energy is consequently directly proportional to the …

Very few studies have been done on radon in South Africa, even though South Africa holds
nearly a tenth of the global uranium deposits. This study aimed to map and estimate the …

The aim of this study is to analyse the role of natural radionuclides 226 Ra, 228 Ra, 40 K
and unsupported 210 Pb (210 Pb ex), as erosion and accumulation process tracers. For this …

The study of radionuclides is very important in our daily life as these impose health
implications to the general public. In present study the estimation of radionuclides in …

In this study, in situ gamma spectra using NaI (Tl) detector have been compared with the
laboratory measurements by using HPGe detector on geological samples. The results for …
