摘要: The content of uranium, thorium, potassium in soil and shore sediments from the Mediterranean Sea coast Alexandria has been determined using a combination direct gamma spectrometry, radiochemical separation alpha spectrometry laser fluorimetry. This study was carried out to detect any radioactive contamination obtain natural base line. No serious found.
