| Özet |
| In this study, the activity concentrations of natural primordial radionuclides in fly ash (FA) samples collected from the landfill area of Afşin-Elbistan A lignite-fired thermal power plant (AE-A LFTPP) located in Kahramanmaraş province of Türkiye were measured using a gamma-ray spectrometer. Also, the radiological risk was assessed using the Residual Radioactivity Onsite 7.2 code. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in FA samples varied from 291 ± 10 to 853 ± 25 Bq/kg, 23 ± 1 to 125 ± 4 Bq/kg and 112 ± 10 to 315 ± 18 Bq/kg, respectively. The predicted maximum total annual effective dose rate due to the natural radionuclides and their progenies is 4.7, 4.4, and 4.0 mSv/y at t = 1000 y for 0.5-m, 1.25-m, and 2.0-m cover scenarios, respectively. While the predicted maximum total cancer risk is 4.56 × 10−3 (3.95 × 10−3 for 226Ra, 5.18 × 10−4 for 232Th and 6.14 × … |
