Spatial distribution of gamma radiation levels in surface soils from Jaduguda uranium mineralization zone, Jharkhand, India, using <b>&#947;</b>-ray spectrometry, and determination of outdoor dose to the population

The concentrations of natural radionuclides in surface soil samples around selected villages of Jaduguda were investigated and compared with the radioactivity level in the region. Concentrations of <sup>238</sup> U, <sup>232</sup> Th, and <sup>40</sup> K were dete...
