to assess natural radioactivity levels in lake sediment of Karacaören II Dam.
In this study sediment samples were collected from 12 station of lake in May,
2016. The natural radionuclides </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:11pt;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">226 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:11pt;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">Ra, <sup>232 </sup>Th and <sup>40 </sup>K </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">were measured with a coaxial
HPGe detector (Canberra, GC 1519 model) of 15% relative efficiency and a
resolution of 1.9 keV at the 1332 keV gamma of  <sup>60 </sup>Co. </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">In order to assess the radiological hazards resulting from natural
radioactivity, radium equivalent activities ( <i>Ra </i> <sub>eq </sub>), absorber dose rate ( <i>D </i>), internal ( <i>H </i> <sub>in </sub>)
and external ( <i>H </i> <sub>ex </sub>) hazard index,
annual effective dose rate ( <i>AED </i>) and
Excess life time cancer risk ( <i>ELCR </i>)
were calculated and compared with recommended values of international
organizations. </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"> </span> </p> <p> <br /> </p>}, publisher={Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi}
