dc.description.abstractActivity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs in soil samples collected at Mount Rainier National Park and Satsop Nuclear Power Plant zone in State of Washington (USA) and Curonian Spit National Park and Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant zone in Lithuania have been measured by gamma spectrometry. The results have been compared with the worldwide measured average values reported by the UNSCEAR. Higher activity concentrations of 137Cs were found in Curonian Spit National Park due to Chernobyl accident fallout. The radium equivalent activity (Raeq), the external hazard index (Hex), the internal hazard index (Hin), the absorbed dose rate (D), and the annual effective dose rate (AEDR) were also calculated and compared with the international recommended values. These calculated hazard indices used to estimate the potential radiological health risk in soil and the dose rate associated with it are below their permissible limit.eng
