Standard addition method for the rapid analysis of 226Ra, gross alpha–beta and total radium isotope activities in surface water of Maritsa River, Türkiye

This research aimed to determine the activity concentration of 226 Ra in the natural radioactivity of the surface water of the Maritsa River, Türkiye. The gamma spectrometric analysis was conducted by using 3′′ × 3′′ NaI(Tl) and (HPGe) detector. Since the direct measurement method could not acquire...

Description
Summary:This research aimed to determine the activity concentration of 226 Ra in the natural radioactivity of the surface water of the Maritsa River, Türkiye. The gamma spectrometric analysis was conducted by using 3′′ × 3′′ NaI(Tl) and (HPGe) detector. Since the direct measurement method could not acquire reliable results, the mean activity concentration of 226 Ra was calculated as 0.62 Bq L −1 with the “standard addition method”. The mean values of the gross alpha/beta activities and the total radium alpha activity concentration were measured. The results are 0.013 Bq L −1 , 0.304 Bq L −1 , and 0.014 Bq L −1 respectively.
