Description

The iThemba LABS dam water samples were radiometrically analysed using the low-background high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry for traces of anthropogenic radionuclides. The samples were prepared in a 1-l Marinelli beaker geometry. Traces of anthropogenic radionuclides have been recorded in samples with activity concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 40 Bq/l.
