226Ra, 228Ra and 40K in scales from boilers of industrial installations

The purpose of this work was to determine concentrations of 226 Ra, 228 Ra and 40 K in scales generated inside industrial boilers. Radionuclide activities were determined by high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. Activity concentrations of 226 Ra were in the range of 3.0 (22) to 1300 (6) Bq kg −1 a...
