| Özet |
| Lignite coal is the primary local energy source in Türkiye. The inevitable result of the utilization of lignite coal in thermal power plants for electricity generation is the formation of large amounts of ash (bottom ash and fly ash) as industrial solid waste. These wastes contain technologically enhanced natural radionuclides in the uranium (238U) and thorium (232Th) decay series and radio-potassium (40K). Seyitömer lignite-fired thermal power plant (4 × 150 MW) located in the Central Western Anatolia Region of Türkiye produces approximately 1.6 million tons of siliceous fly ash per year. In this study, the utilization of these fly ashes in the construction industry and their storage in ash landfill areas were assessed by estimating radiological parameters and using the RESRAD Onsite 7.2 computer code. For this, the enhanced natural radioactivity levels of fly ash samples were determined by gamma-ray spectrometry with … |
