Radioactivity Investigation of the Anthropogenic 137Cs Radionuclide in Soil Samples from the Marapasta Region in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Abstract:Gamma ray spectroscopy analyses have been carried out on 32 soil samples from the Marapasta area for activity concentration comparisons and hazard effects due to the 137 Cs radionuclide for the first time in this region. The average activity concentration of the 137 Cs in the soil samples was measured using HPGe detector systems. The anthropogenic radioactivity levels of 137 Cs in the samples collected from the bottom-of-hole soil at Marapasta, in the undisturbed areas near the bottom of the mountain chain and… Show more
