Description

Analyses of 114 soil samples in Ningbo City show that, in general, there are statistical differences of 137Cs and 40K contents between every layers; the other kinds of natural radionuclides present an increasing tendency with depth. As γ dose rate in soil is estimated with Beck Formula, the effect of nonuniform distributions of radioactive nuclides is less than 1% in general and can be ignored
