摘 要:Soil samples in and around salt field area have been analyzed for natural radioactivity concentration using gamma ray *** activity concentration for ^(232)Th,^(238)U and ^(40)K are ranged from 27.88 to 45.27 Bq/kg, from BDL to 13.30 Bq/kg,and from 135.54 to 381.28 Bq/kg,*** measured activity concentrations for these radionuclides were compared with world average activity of *** average activity concentration of ^(232)Th in the present study is 1.19 times higher than world median value while the activity of ^(238)U and ^(40)K is found to be lower. The absorbed dose rates due to these radionuclides were *** average absorbed gamma dose rate due to the presence of ^(232)Th,^(238)U and ^(40)K in soil samples is 36.99 nGy·h^(-1).These results indicate no radiological anomaly. The data presented in this study will serve as a base line survey for primordial radionuclides concentration in the study area.
