“…5 no secondary enrichment of U, 228 Ra is normally the dominant isotope in solution (Michel, 1991). Not surprising, Brazilian soils, normally contain 228 Ra/ 226 Ra activity ratio higher than one (Linsalata et al, 1991;Malanca et al, 1996;Roque and Ribeiro, 1997;de Moraes and Daltro, 2000;Carlos et al, 2004) and, in general, the observed 228 Ra/ 226 Ra activity concentration ratio follows this trend being higher than one as shown in Fig. 6.…”
