A Study on Determination of Natural Radionuclide Concentrations in Tap Water Samples Collected from the Districts of Sinop Province, Türkiye

Öz:
Since Turkey's second nuclear power plant is planned to be built in Sinop province, it is very important to determine the background levels of radioactivity in this region. In the present study, activity concentrations of $^{226}Ra, ^{232}Th and ^{40}K$ natural radionuclides in nine tap water samples collected from the districts of Sinop province located in the north of Turkey were determined using a high purity germanium detector (HPGe). The coordinates of sampling areas were also recorded by GPS device (Magellan Explorist 510). The mean activity concentrations of $^{226}Ra, ^{232}Th and ^{40}K$ radionuclides in the studied waters were calculated to be 1.74 ± 0.49 Bq/L, 1.39 ± 0.35 Bq/L and 5.32 ± 1.41 Bq/L. In addition, annual effective dose equivalents from the intake of these radionuclides in the tap water samples were calculated for infants, children and adults and the found results were compared with the values recommended by international organizations. As a result, there is no risk in terms of natural radioactivity in the consumption of studied waters by humans.

Sinop il ve İlçelerinden Alınan Musluk Suyu Örneklerinde Doğal Radyonüklit Konsantrasyonlarının Belirlenmesi Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Öz:
Türkiye'nin ikinci nükleer santralinin Sinop ilinde kurulması planlandığından bu bölgedeki radyoaktivite arka plan düzeylerinin belirlenmesi çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin kuzeyinde yer alan Sinop il merkezi ve ilçelerinden toplanan dokuz musluk suyu örneğinde$^{226}Ra, ^{232}Th ve ^{40}K$ doğal radyonüklitlerinin aktivite konsantrasyonları yüksek saflıkta bir germanyum dedektörü (HPGe) kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Örnekleme noktalarının koordinatları ayrıca GPS cihazı (Magellan Explorist 510) ile kaydedilmiştir. İncelenen sulardaki $^{226}Ra, ^{232}Th ve ^{40}K$ radyonüklitlerinin ortalama aktivite konsantrasyonları 1,74 ± 0,49 Bq/L, 1,39 ± 0,35 Bq/L ve 5,32 ± 1,41 Bq/L olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca bebekler, çocuklar ve yetişkinler için su örneklerinin tüketilmesi sonucunda bu radyonüklitlerin alınmasıyla elde edilen yıllık etkin doz eşdeğerleri hesaplanmış ve bulunan sonuçlar uluslararası kuruluşlar tarafından önerilen değerlerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak incelenen suların insanlar tarafından tüketilmesinde doğal radyoaktivite açısından herhangi bir risk bulunmadığı belirlenmiştir.
