Özet

The 40K, 226Ra and 232Th concentration is due to the magmatic structure of the earth and it can be varied from place to place. Osmaniye is located in the Eastern side of Mediteranean Region. It holds the climatic characteristics of the same region and arises with Middle Taurus Mountains from west to North and with Amonos Mounations in East and West-east parts and is situated between 35°.52′-36°.42′ east longitudes and 36°.57′-37°.45′ north latitudes. In this study, the natural radioactivity concentrations 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in some soil samples collected in Osmaniye have been investigated. The measurements have been performed using 3×3″ NaI(Tl) detector system. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
