Abstract

This research aimed to determine the activity concentration of ²²⁶Ra in the natural radioactivity of the surface water of the Maritsa River, Türkiye. The gamma spectrometric analysis was conducted by using 3′′ × 3′′ NaI(Tl) and (HPGe) detector. Since the direct measurement method could not acquire reliable results, the mean activity concentration of ²²⁶Ra was calculated as 0.62 Bq L⁻¹ with the “standard addition method”. The mean values of the gross alpha/beta activities and the total radium alpha activity concentration were measured. The results are 0.013 Bq L⁻¹, 0.304 Bq L⁻¹, and 0.014 Bq L⁻¹ respectively.
