This analysis technique was adopted by activating NBS standard reference materials (NBS SRM 2709: San Joaquin Soil) and sediment matrices at the same condition before measuring them at the specific time schedule. High Purity Germanium (HPGe) well type detector and spectrometer were calibrated to get efficiency ratio by reference standard sources. Most of natural radioactive elements are members of uranium, thorium and from non series nuclides, mainly potassium. The result concentration of uranium, thorium, and potassium in samples can be achieved by this technique and found to be in the range of 0.02 to 3.05 ppm, 0.04 to 11.00 ppm, and 0.01 to 1.53% respectively. The annual environmental dose is between 87-3000 mGy, depended on type of metrics, and can be specifically calculated and used for dating around the Middle Miocene time scale. |

A high purity germanium (HPGe) welltype detector and digital spectrometer were calibrated by reference standard sources to obtain high efficiency for the quantitative evaluation. The concentration of uranium, thorium, and potassium of the Mae Moh mine samples achieved by these techniques was in the range 0.08 to 1.40 ppm, 4.60 to 6.70 ppm, and 0.80 to 1.50%, respectively and significantly lower than the samples collected from the Lam Phra Phloeng Dam which were in the range 2.28 to 2.96 ppm, 8.43 to 16.01 ppm, and 2.04 to 3.30%, respectively. It was shown that the concentration of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) depended on the type and formation age of the sediment. |
