DOI: 10.1080/03067319.2024.2341311
Abstract: ABSTRACT In this study, the radioactivity concentrations of natural radionuclides (Uranium-238, Thorium-232, and Potassiumi-40) in aggregate/stone dust samples used for building construction purposes have been measured with thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(TI)) detector. The samples’ associated… read more here.
