Assessment of Natural Radioactivity in Soil and its Contribution to Population Exposure in the Vicinity of Mkuju River Uranium Project in Tanzania

The level of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K was established in soil collected in an area about 1,300 km2 in the vicinity of Mkuju uranium project in Tanzania and selected points in the concession using HPGe spectrometer and associated exposure risks to population were estimated. The radioactivity concentration in the vicinity range (Bqkg-1) for 226Ra (24.94 to 53.50), 232Th (20.86 to 47.14), and 40K (344.50 to 697.54). Whereas, radioactivity in the concession range for 226Ra (2430.00 to 4200.00), 232Th (130.00 to 220.00), and 40K (1293.30 to 1466.10). On average the radioactivity in the concession were about 89, 5 and 3 times h... view moreĀ»
