摘要：
The present work deals with the radioactivity of the Archeozoic-Cambrian rocks of the Weibei area, Shaanxi, China. A total of 45 rock samples of Archeozoic-Cambrian strata were investigated. The radionuclides of the samples, in Bq kg(-1), have been measured using Na(I)Tl gamma-ray spectrometer. The concentration of Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 in the Archeozoic-Cambrian rock samples range from 12.3 to 55.4, from 2.4 to 98.7 and from 58.6 to 1613.3 Bq kg(-1), respectively. The measured activity concentrations for these radionuclides were compared with the typical world average values. To assess the radiological hazard of the natural radioactivity in the samples, the radium equivalent activity, the external hazard index, internal hazard index and the annual gonadal dose equivalent associated with the radionuclides were calculated and compared with the international recommended values.
