Abstract
AbstractResearch on the safety of staple agricultural food products has always been one of humanity’s priorities and provides input for dose assessment models. Within this important priority, activity concentrations, transfer factors, and radiological effects of 238U, 232Th, 210Pb, and 40K were studied for selected crops in a village close to the NORM area, located in Central Anatolia region of Turkey. The RESRAD-onsite code has been used to assess the total dose rate. The simulation of the risk analysis covered 80 years. The maximum total dose of 0.5 mSv y−1 was obtained at t = 30 years.
