Abstract :
The specific radioactivity concentrations of 238U, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs were measured in soil, water and air samples, which were collected from some points of Gurvanbulag uranium deposit of Dornod province in Mongolia, using HP-Ge gamma-spectrometer. Results of measurements of natural and man-made radioactive nuclides in soil, water and air samples were presented. It was determined a specific radioactivity of soil, water and air samples, which were collected from Gurvanbulag uranium deposit, compared with world data.
