The natural radioactivity due to presence of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in soil of Nineveh zone,
Nineveh province, Iraq were measured by using gamma-ray spectrometry based on high …

We have described the determination of uranium in environmental, geological, and
agricultural specimens by three different non-destructive nuclear methods. The …

Compton suppression (CS) has increased the sensitivity of gamma spectroscopy systems
tenfold, and is routinely used in laboratories for environmental analysis and the monitoring …

Fertilizers containing phosphate have been used worldwide in increasing quantities in order
to replenish natural nutrients, which are being continuously depleted from the soil by virtue …

Monte-Carlo simulations are used to evaluate and optimise multiple components of a
Compton Suppression System based upon a Broad-energy HPGe primary detector. Several …

Monte-Carlo simulations have been utilised to determine the optimum material and
thickness for a γ spectrometer to be used for the assay of radionuclides that emit radiation in …

We have investigated the disequilibrium of the uranium and actinium series and have found
both 226 Ra (90,200±4300 Bq/kg) and 228 Ra have activity concentrations orders of …

In this study the commonly used f-value for the 1001.03 keV (0.835±0.004%) energy
transition of the 234m Pa was re-evaluated due to an obvious consistent overestimation of …

Gamma ray spectroscopy is routinely used to measure radiation in a number of situations.
These include security applications, nuclear forensics studies, characterisation of …

The accurate evaluation of the absolute intensity of the gamma-ray transition 1001.03 keV of
234m Pa is crucial for accurate determination of 238 U in nuclear material and …
