Activity concentrations of selected artificial and natural radionuclides in water and sediment samples from the North Western Black Sea, 1999

Spatial and depth wise characterization of radionuclides and minerals in various beach sediments from high background radiation area, Kerala, India

“…Sorption characteristics of radionuclides with carbonate mineral sands such as calcite, aragonite and limestone are little explored. Breban et al (2004) had stated that the concentration of radionuclides depend on the amount of calcium carbonate in the sediments. In the present study, in all layer sediments, 40 K may have a strong association with the light mineral calcite.…”
