Description
Summary:In this study; the environmental gamma radiation at the various points (16 points) in the districts of and in Bitlis, where it was located in the Turkey Eastern Anatolia region, were measured. The environmental gamma radiation measurement was made from two levels (the ground and one meter above the surface) by using portable gamma survey meter which consisted of 2″×2″ scintillation detector (NaI(Tl)). The obtained data were discussed in considering the geological structure of the region and the other factors.
