Natural and artificial radioactivity assessment of dam lakes sediments in Çoruh River, Turkey. Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 303(1), 287-295.https://hdl.handle.net/11494/3501In the sediment samples collected from 3 different dam reservoirs and 10 different stations on Coruh River, U-238, Th-232, K-40 and Cs-137 activity concentration levels were measured using high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The mean concentrations of U-238, Th-232, K-40 and Cs-137 were found to be 15.8, 13.9, 551.5 and 18.1 Bq/kg in Deriner Dam Lake, 3.7, 12.5, 473.8 and 6.8 Bq/kg in Bor double dagger ka Dam Lake, 14.4, 30.0, 491.7 and 18.2 Bq/kg in MuratlA +/- Dam Lake, respectively. Estimation calculations were made for the non-sampling zones by using Kriging method. Furthermore, results were compared with the similar studies done in different countries.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNatural and artificial radioactivityDam lake sedimentGamma-ray spectrometryKrigingCoruh RiverArticle303128729510.1007/s10967-014-3420-7Q2N/A
