Abstract

This work aims to determine the concentration activities of ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra and ⁴⁰K radionuclides in soil samples from Fundão Island, Rio de Janeiro, using the gamma spectrometry technique with a hyper-pure germanium detector. The concentration found for ²²⁶Ra in the evaluated soil samples showed an average 42.21 Bq kg⁻¹, a value within ranges found in national and international studies. For concentrations of ²²⁸Ra, the average found were around 131.23 Bq kg⁻¹, being higher than the values found for soils in national and international studies. The ⁴⁰K presented average values around 543.35 Bq kg⁻¹, therefore within the range found for soils in both national and international literature. Amongst the analyzed samples and the determined elements, the ²²⁸Ra was the highest concentration detected. This result suggests that in these soils, the forming minerals are more concentrated in ²³²Th.
