Özet
This study aims to determine radiological characterization of disposed phosphogypsum (PG) as technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material produced from phosphorus fertilizer plants (PFPs) in Turkey and evaluate radiological impacts of outdoor storage and transport and the usage of PG as additive and filling materials in building sector and road construction. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K measured for the PG samples from PFP A and PFP B are 125.0, 15.1 and 7.5Bqkg−1 and 436.0, 9.4 and 13.0Bqkg−1, respectively. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K are also compared with available reported data from other countries in the literature. The mean value of radium equivalent activity (Raeq) index calculated for the PFP A PG samples is 146.7Bqkg−1 which is lower than the limit of 370Bqkg−1 set for building materials and for the PFP B PG …
