Determination of specific activity of<sup>238</sup>U, <sup>232</sup>Th and <sup>40</sup>K and radiological hazard assessment of Tuomo River Sediments in Burutu, Delta State, Nigeria

The activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K in sediments samples from Tuomo river in Burutu, Delta State, Nigeria have been determined using gamma spectrometry NaI(TI) detector. The concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K in the sediments range from 18.69±1.88−77.99±4.35 Bqkg−1, 59.67 ± 11.85...
