Results of indoor gamma radiation and radon measurements in 95 wooden dwellings located in a Norwegian thorium-rich carbonatite area using thermoluminescent dosemeters and CR-39 alpha track detectors, respectively, are reported together with a thorough analysis of the indoor data with regard to geological factors. Slightly enhanced radium levels and thorium concentrations of several thousands Bq kg(-1) in the carbonatites were found to cause elevated indoor radon-222 levels and the highest indoor gamma dose rates ever reported from wooden houses in Norway. An arithmetic mean indoor gamma dose rate of 200 nGy h(-1) and a maximum of 620 nGy h(-1) were obtained for the group of dwellings located directly on the most thorium-rich bedrock.
报告了分别使用热释光剂量计和CR - 39α径迹探测器对位于挪威富含钍的碳酸岩地区的95座木屋进行室内伽马辐射和氡测量的结果,并对室内数据与地质因素进行了全面分析。发现碳酸岩中镭水平略有升高,钍浓度达数千Bq kg(-1),这导致室内氡 - 222水平升高,以及挪威木屋有史以来报告的最高室内伽马剂量率。直接位于钍含量最高的基岩上的一组住宅,其室内伽马剂量率算术平均值为200 nGy h(-1),最高为620 nGy h(-1)。
