DETERMINATION OF NATURAL RADIOACTIVITY LEVEL ON SOIL AND RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS IN THE GEOTERMAL AREA OF SOLOK SOUTH, WEST SUMATERA

Determination of Natural Radioactivity Level on Soil and Radiological Hazards in The Geotermal Area of Solok South, West Sumatera

Solok Selatan is one of the areas in West Sumatra that has geothermal potential, contains much higher levels of radioactive substances in the soil in the form of Radium (Ra-226), Thorium (Th-232), and Potassium (K-40).This study aimed to measure the concentration of Ra-226.Th-232, and K-40 contained in the soil in the Solok Selatan which was then r
