Description

A gamma spectroscopic method for the determination of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K contents in powdered granite samples from areas in different sites in Eastern desert is presented. HPGe detector setup, coaxial type and 8192 channels MCA were applied for measurements. The data show that the concentration values of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in these samples ranged between 102-640, 56-161 and 774-1234 (Bq/kg), respectively. Radium equivalent activty (Raeq) and activity level in all samples were calculated. The data are discussed and compared with other experimental values
