Abstract The 228 Ra and 226 Ra isotopes of radium are significant contaminants in food,
raising public concern because of their radiotoxicity. Several methods are available for …

A widely applied method of supported lead estimation in sediments using gamma
spectrometric 226Ra determination via 222Rn short lived daughter products relies on …

An evaluation of various radiometric methods to analyze 226 Ra in water has been
employed on a set of 10 standard solutions of different concentrations in the range of 1–10 …

There are very few data available of 236 U in marine sediment cores. In this study we

In this work a method used conventionally for ICP-MS measurements have been modified
and readapted for the determination of actinides (U and Th isotopes) in refractory samples …

Liquid scintillation spectrometry is a fast competitive technique for the simultaneous
evaluation of gross alpha and beta indexes. However, the implementation of this technique …
