This study determined natural and artificial radionuclide concentrations to evaluate natural radioactivity and health risk levels of nine travertines in the Yaprakhisar and Balkayası regions in Turkey. The samples coded B1-M, B2, B5, B7, B8, and B10 represent waste derived from the Yaprakhisar travertines, as well as samples T5-M, T12, and Z1 travertines derived from Balkayası. The levels of natural and artificial radionuclide concentrations (232Th, 40K, and 137Cs) were measured using a high-purity germanium (HpGe) detector system. The travertine activity ranged from 2.09 to 12.07 Bq kg−1 for 232Th, 4.21 to 13.41 Bq kg−1 for 40K, and 0.42–3.26 Bq kg−1 for 137Cs. The results showed that the activity concentration values for 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs were coherent with the travertine analysis results in the UNSCEAR, 2000; 2008 publications. The values obtained were lower than the average values in the UNSEAR reports. The radiological hazard parameters calculated in this study were absorbed gamma dose rate (D), radium equivalent activity (Raeq), annual gonadal dose equivalent (AGDE), exposure dose (ER), total annual effective dose (AEDEtotal), excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCRtotal), gamma representative level (GRL), internal hazard index (Hin) and external hazard index (Hex).

The aim of this study is to compare two identical NaI(Tl) detectors under the same conditions to reduce potential sources of error in future experiments. To this end, an experimental setup using both detectors was designed to measure the gamma spectrum of point sources. In order to verify the experimental results, the same setup was conducted by Monte Carlo simulations. The characteristics of the detectors, such as resolution and efficiency, were analyzed simultaneously to obtain possible differences. The resolution and efficiency of the detectors were found to be slightly different when their settings were the same, but within the expected range. The fitted data gave a standard deviation of 20.749±0.00693 keV for detector 1 and 19.698±0.00647 keV for detector 2 at 662 keV. The experimental data showed that one detector had a resolution of 6.9% and the other 7.2%. The simulation results and experimental data are in good agreement. In conclusion, it was observed that the high errors in the experimental data are due to the 20% uncertainty of the point sources.
