DETERMINATION OF GROSS A AND B ACTIVITIES IN SOIL SAMPLES FROM DRAZLJEVO LANDFILL (POWER PLANT GACKO)

The concentrations of the natural radioactivity in 8 different soil samples collected from Dražljevo landfill near the coal −fired power plant Gacko (Republic of Srpska) were determined. The instrumentation used to count the gross alpha and gross beta activities was α / β low level proportional counter Thermo Eberline FHT 770 T. The obtained results show that the gross alpha and gross beta activities ranged from 66.7 to 102.4 Bq/kg and 285.7 to 607.4 Bq/kg, respectively.
