Measurement of natural radioactivity in granites and its quartz-bearing gold at El-Fawakhir area (Central Eastern Desert), Egypt

The distribution of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in Granites and its quartz-bearing gold at El-Fawakhir area (Central Eastern Desert, Egypt) were measured by using γ-ray spectroscopy [NaI (Tl) 3″ × 3″]. X-Ray Fluorescence technique was used for chemical analyses of the studied sample...
