Abstract

The concentration of ²³⁸U in a phosphate ore quarry was measured in situ. Independently, soil samples collected from the site were measured in the laboratory, it was found that radon emanation from the soil lowers in situ results that are derived from radon daughters. The uranium concentration was found to be 121.6 ± 1.9 mg kg^-1.
