Gamma-radiation levels outdoors in Great Britain based on K, Th and U geochemical data
- Abstract:
-
Gamma-rays from naturally occurring radionuclides are a major component of background radiation. They are an important tool for geology and are also important for radiation protection. In this paper we use over a quarter of a million geochemical measurements of concentrations of potassium, thorium and uranium in soils and in stream sediments to estimate outdoor gamma-ray dose rates across Great Britain. The soil concentrations are generally at a depth of 5–20 cm with some at 35–50 cm. Soil me...
