Effect of particle size and composition of granitic sands on the radiological behaviour of mortars
Although primarily deemed to be an ornamental stone, granite may also be ground into fines for use in cement mortars, where it exhibits high strength and durability. Both the 40K present in the stone and the natural decay series of its uranium, thorium and actinium components exhibit high activity c...
