DETERMINATION OF 238U, 232Th AND 40K ACTIVITY IN THE ROCKS USED IN CIVIL ENGINEERING FROM THE MALÉ KARPATY MTS. (Slovakia)
Original language description
The distribution of natural radionuclides in the main rock-types: granodiorites (granites), biotite-gneisses, black shales and amphibolites from the Malé Karpaty Mts. complex was studied in samples collected from two boreholes. The samples were analyzedby means of gamma-ray spectrometry. The concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K were found to be within the range of 0.091-37.800 mg/kg (238U), 0.534-13.234 mg/kg (232Th), and 0.116-5.162 mg/kg (40K). The highest average 238U concentration was in black shale, highest average 232Th concentration in granodiorite-granite and highest average 40K concentration in granodiorite - granite as well. Activities of 238U were determined within the range of 1.092-48.960 Bq/kg (with exception of one anomalous value ? 453.6 Bq/kg), activities of 232Th within the range of 2.189 ? 54.298 Bq/kg and activities of 40K within the range of 30.933 ? 1,376.499 Bq/kg. It is considered that the source of 238U and 232Th (and partially also of 40K) is in the granitoi
