Abstract
Total integrated gamma counts of the spectrum and gamma counts corresp onding to the peaks 295 keV and 352 keV of Pb-214, 609 keV and 1120 ke V of Bi-214, 511 keV, 583 keV and 860 keV of Tl-208, 911 keV and 968 k eV of (228)AC emanating from amang effluent samples were recorded usin g a GeLi detector. Results have shown the principal source of radioact ivity to be the Th-232 series. The solubility of thorium oxide in incr easingly acidic aqueous solutions has been shown to produce elevated l evels of gamma activity.
