Description
Objective: To investigate the total radioactivity level of water body in Xiangjiang River basin in Hengyang, and find the potential radiation contamination in time, and analyse the experimental datas with radiation hygiene method. Methods: Using 241Am and KCl as the reference material for measurement to investigate the total radioactivity level of water body with the medium thickness relative measuring method. Results: The radiation hygiene evaluation results show the values of the total α and β of water samples were 0.0012-0.058 Bq/L and 0.013-0.3742 Bq/L, respectively. And the variance analysis show that there was no significant differences between the various water samples (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The radioactivity levels in water body of Xiangjiang river are within the normal natural background and the water environment of Xiangjiang river is not contaminated by radioactive nuclide.
