Description
Mt. Schank in South Australia is a recent volcano, the age of which has been found using thermoluminescence dating. The natural uranium series, which contributes to the radiation dose, was found to be in gross disequilibrium, the detail of which have been examined using alpha and gamma spectroscopy. It is suggested that most of the U and Ra were removed at about the time of the lava flow 5ka ago and that some Th was carried in
