Description
The study presents estimations of uranium and thorium content from radon and thoron data respectively in soil and water. The study was carried out between November, 2017 and October, 2018 for one year at different sampling depths. An indigenously developed and calibrated ZnS(Ag) alpha based scintillation counter (Model: SMARTRnDuo, BARC, India) was deployed for assessing radon and thoron data. Thoron concentration was found to be higher than radon concentration in both soil and water. The isotope pair and their parent nuclei concentration in water were found to be higher than in soil. Comparisons with global averages were also presented in detail and no radiological risk has been observed for the region. (author)
