Bu
çalışmada, Borçka Baraj Gölü’nden toplanan sediment örneklerinde doğal (226Ra,
232Th ve 40K) ve antropojenik (137Cs)
radyonüklidlerin konsantrasyonları yüksek saflıkta germanyum dedektörü  (HPGe) 
kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Aktivite konsantrasyonları 226Ra, 232Th,
40K ve 137Cs için sırasıyla 4.79-21.46, 9.36–20.65,
238.01–721.26 ve 0.79–6.81 Bq kg-1 aralığında değişmiştir. Sediment
örnekleri için hesaplanan ortalama 226Ra, 232Th ve 40K
aktivite konsantrasyonları UNSCEAR tarafından rapor edilen dünya ortalaması
değerlerinden daha düşük bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, radyum eşdeğer aktifliği (Raeq),
dış tehlike endeksi (Hex), havada soğurulan doz hızı (D), yıllık
etkin doz eşdeğeri (AEDE) ve artan yaşam boyu kanser riski (ELCR)  değeri gibi radyolojik tehlike parametreleri
hesaplanmış ve uluslararası izin verilen değerlerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu
çalışmanın sonuçları, bu bölgedeki sediment örneklerine maruz kalan insanlar
için önemli bir sağlık riski olmadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır.

In this research, the concentrations of natural (226Ra, 232Th
and 40K) and anthropogenic (137Cs) radionuclides were measured in sediment
samples collected from the Borçka Dam Lake using a high purity germanium
detector (HPGe). The activity values ranged from 4.79-21.46, 9.36–20.65,
238.01–721.26 and 0.79–6.81 Bq kg-1 for 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs
respectively. The average 226Ra, 232Th and 40K activity concentrations calculated
for the sediment samples were found to be lower compared to world average
values reported by UNSCEAR. In addition, radiological hazard indices were
determined and compared with the international permissible values. The results
of this study revealed that there is no significant health risk for people
exposed to sediment samples in this region.
