Description

The activities of the primordial radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K are estimated for Yadgir soil samples. The collected soil samples were analyzed using 4'' X 4'' NaI (Tl) detector based gamma spectrometric system. The range of activity of the three radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were found to be 10-174, 13-283 and 99-1768 Bqkg-1 respectively. The range of gamma absorbed dose rate and Indoor Annual effective dose were estimated in the present study and it is found that activity of the radionuclides are moderately higher than the global value except few samples.
