Description

Lexan plastic track detector is used to estimate the uranium content of water and plant samples collected from the Dalhousie area, Chamba district, Himachal Pradesh, India. Uranium content has been found to vary from 0.26 +- 0.01 to 6.77 +- 0.06 ppb in water and from 0.65 +- 0.04 to 2.61 +- 0.08 ppm in plant samples. The track production rate due to radon in water has been found to vary from 1.44 +- 0.18 to 385.25 +- 0.70 tracks cm-2 hr-1 litre-1 using LR-115 plastic as a solid state nuclear track detector.
