Abstract

Boumerzoug nehri tortusunda (Rhumel nehrinin ana
kolu) doğal radyonüklidlerin aktivite konsantrasyonları, yüksek çözünürlüklü
HPGe detektörü kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Örneklerin aktivite konsantrasyonları,
226Ra için 16,66±2,32 Bq/kg ile 43,48±4,03 Bq/kg arasında olup ortalama değer 26,64 ± 1,33 Bq/kg , 232Th için 20,01±1,98 Bq/kg ile 32,71±3,85 Bq/kg arasında
olup ortalama değer 25,95±1,46 Bq/kg, son olarak
40K için 81,70±33,59 Bq/kg ile 259,20±38,80 Bq/kg arasında
olup ortalama değeri 164,50±11,30 Bq/kg’dir. Bu
değerler radyasyon tehlikesi endekslerini tahmin etmek için kullanılmıştır. Bu
tortuların kullanımına bağlı radyasyon riskini değerlendirmek için emilen doz
ve yıllık etkili doz değerlendirilmiştir.

Abstract

Activity
concentrations of natural radionuclides in Boumerzoug River sediment (the main
tributary of Rhumel river) have been measured using high resolution HPGe
detector. The activity concentrations of the samples were range from 16.66±2.32 Bq/kg to 43.48±4.03 Bq/kg with mean value of 26.64±1.33 Bq/kg for 226Ra, 20.01±1.98 Bq/kg to 32.71±3.85 Bq/kg with the mean value 25.95±1.46 Bq/kg for 232Th and 81.70±33.59 Bq/kg to 259.20±38.80 Bq/kg with the mean value
164.50±11.30 Bq/kg for 40K. These values were used to
estimate the radiation hazard indices. The absorbed dose and annual effective
dose were evaluated to assess the radiation risk due to the use of these
sediments.
