Radioactivity Measurements of the Jos Tin Mine Tailing in Northern Nigeria

~ 5f86ca34a7fab527ddd95b78a429a43f.200x200
The activity concentrations of 226Ra and232Th in Jos Tin mine tailings and its environment were measured using Hyper-pure Germanium detector (HPGe). Preset counting time of 30,000s was used for each sample to avoid statistical errors. Results showed the activities varied from one site to another. The activities of 226Ra and232Th are much higher than the recommended average limit given by...
