Gamma Ray Spectrometric Analysis of Sand Samples from Selected Beaches along Kenyan Coastline

Gamma Ray Spectrometric Analysis of Sand Samples from Selected Beaches along Kenyan Coastline

In this study, the activity concentration levels of 238U, 232Th, and 40K in sand samples collected from Shanzu, Nyali, Kenyatta, Tiwi, Shelly, and Diani beaches selected along the Kenyan coastline were determined using a gamma ray spectrometer with a NaI(Tl) detector. The average activity concentrat...
