Abstract

The authors provide a study of concentration levels in the soil of the LAMA (Lab Active Metal Testing Laboratory) soil, in which they employed GIS and visual interpretation to introduce radioactive contamination into the soil of this facility. Using a high-purity germanium detector and spectroscopic apparatus, 28 samples were collected and examined using gamma spectroscopy to measure the radioactivity concentrations of radionuclides. Standards coefficients derived for the (U-238 series, Th-232 series, and Cs-137) distributions imply an asymmetric distribution with a little tail toward higher concentrations. However, the (U-238 series, Th-232 series, and Cs-137) activities in soil samples are more variable and exceed the authorized environmental thresholds.
