Natural and fallout radioactivity mapping of Kakrapar Gujarat site, India

This study presents the activity and outdoor gamma absorbed dose rates (terrestrial and cosmic) due to the naturally occurring (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) and anthropogenic (137Cs) radionuclides around Kakrapar Gujarat site. The activity level (Bq/kg) in the soil ranged 5.7–48.4 for 226Ra, 9.7–28.0 for...
