Radiological analysis of the suitability of Erongo granite for building material

This study measured the natural radioactivity of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in 20 granite samples obtained from the Erongo Mountain Belt and Usakos Dome of the Erongo region, Namibia. All the samples were analysed using high purity germanium (HPGe) detector after 30-days to allow for secular equilibrium....
