Description

Radioactive nuclei are present all over the earth, in soil, water and atmosphere. Most of them have natural origin, such as primordial radionuclide 238U, 235U, 232Th and their decay chain up to one of the stable isotope of Pb. In this work we have attempted to assess the radionuclides present in soil samples from Maharashtra state using gamma spectrometric analysis. The results obtained are presented here
