“…2010, van Beek et al . in press). Radium-228 activities were determined using the 338, 911 and 969 keV peaks of 228 Ac.…”

An introduction to γ3 a new versatile ultralow background gamma spectrometer. Background description and analysis

“…nnn : CENBG is calculating its normalized integral count rate from 30 to 3000 keV. These count rates are taken from Hult et al (2000), Schwaiger et al (2002), Hurtado et al (2006) Thomas et al (2013), van Beek et al (2013 and Heusser et al (2013).…”

Uranium decay daughters from isolated mines: Accumulation and sources

“…An abundant literature is available concerning the dispersion in the environment of natural radionuclides associated with uranium mining and milling activities (Neame et al 1982;Waite et al 1988;Mosinets, 1991;Bunzl et al 1994;Jurado Vargas et al 1997, McConnell et al 1998Fernandes et al 1998;Fernandes and Franklin, 2001;Fernandes et al 2006;Lozano, 2000Vera Tom e et al 2002;Carvalho et al 2007Carvalho et al , 2014Frostick et al 2008Frostick et al , 2011Kipp et al 2009;Mom cilovi c et al 2013;Blanco Rodríguez et al 2014;Kayzar et al 2014). However, only few published studies offer maps of radionuclide distribution (Dragovi c et al 2014;Erenturk et al 2014), in particular for uranium mining impacted environments (Vandenhove et al 2006;Bollh€ ofer et al 2006Bollh€ ofer et al , 2014.…”
