Natural radioactivity levels and estimation of radiation exposure from soils in Bahi and Manyoni Districts

Soils samples from Bahi and Manyoni were analyzed for radionuclides. The activity levels of Ra-226, Th-238, and K-40 were measured by direct γ‐ray spectrometry using HPGe detector by Compton suppression method. The results show that the average radioactivity concentration in soil samples ranges fro...
