“…As this Center is considered to be one of the most important locations on the canal, it is interesting to measure and evaluate the detectable radioactivity levels of the natural radionuclides on the water beds. Chemical, physical and mineralogical, analyses on IC water and its components (suspended matter and bottom sediment) had been already performed [1][2][3][4]. However, the identification of the different radionuclides in the different components of the IC environment has not yet been carried out and their activity level has not been studied in detail.…”

The activity level of the y-emitting radionuclides was measured in the different component of Ismailia Canal (bottom sediment, biota and water) by '/-spectrometry. The average activity level of the dry samples ranged from 12 to 89 Bq/kg for the detected natural radionuclides. The annual external y-dose to the living organisms in the canal, close to the sediment beds, was found to be in the range of 1.21 ±0.24 mSv/y and does not present any significant hazards when compared with the natural y-ray background around the Ismalia Canal (IC) environment which ranges from 0.80 to 1.73 mSv/y.
