Abstract:Airborne radiometric data of part of Lower Benue Trough of Nigeria were interpreted quantitatively to determine the relative abundance of natural radioactive elements of Uranium (U), Thorium (Th) and Potassium (K) in the area. The observed count rate for Uranium, Thorium and Potassium in the study area were 0.8−6.8 ppm, 4.3−23.2 ppm and 0.09−0.63 % respectively. A ternary image of the radio-elements showed that the northern parts of Dekina and Soko have low concentrations of the three radionuclides whereas hig… Show more
