The gamma-rays emissions of 22Na, 60Co, 133Ba and 137Cs point sources were counted with/without sample. The obtained gamma-ray spectra were analyzed using computer software. Self-attenuation correction factors and gamma-ray attenuation parameters of eleven different brands of commercial salt sample were calculated. The experimental MACs of salt samples were compared with those of NaCl compound utilizing WinXCom software. <br /> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Sakarya University}
