AB  - Naturally occurring radionuclide (uranium, actinium and thorium series and 40K) are widespread in the environment. In addition, significant amount of 137Cs may also be present in the soil as a result of accidents, such as Chernobyl accident. Thus, monitoring of radionuclides content in soil is of great importance. Aleksandrovac is small town in the western part of central Serbia and Župa is identified as the administrative territory of Aleksandrovac municipality. Nature of Aleksandrovačka Župa is under the long-lasting influence of anthropogenic factors, and therefore dominates altered natural landscape. Activity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in 26 soil samples collected from different location in the territory of Aleksandrovačka Župa were determined and presented. All soil samples were milled and sealed in 0.5 l Marinelli beakers, and stored for six weeks in order to reach radioactive equilibrium between 226Ra and its descendants. All samples were measured by means of coaxial semiconductor HPGe detector (ORTEC GEM-30, 37% relative efficiency and 1.8 keV resolution for 60Co at 1332 keV line). The detector was calibrated using the standards in the same geometry spiked with common mixture of gamma-ray emitters certified by Czech Metrological Institute. The activity concentrations of radionuclides 40K and 137Cs in soil samples were determined directly by analyzing full-energy peaks of their principal energies at 1460.83 keV and 661.66 keV, respectively. The activity of 40K was corrected for the contribution of 228Ac (1459.14 keV). The activity of 226Ra was determined by analyzing full-energy peak at 186.21 keV, corrected for the contribution of 235U (185.72 keV) evaluated via 235U photo-peak at 143.77 keV and additionally approved by analyzing activity concentrations of its descendants (214Bi and 214Pb). Furthermore, the activity concentration of 232Th was determined by using the evaluated activity of its descendants (228Ac, 212Bi, 212Pb, and 208Tl). All obtained activity concentrations were corrected for the coincidence summing effect, applying the calculation method of Debertin and Schötzig (1990).

AB  - The Direct Matrices Multiplication (DMM) method was developed by D. Novkovi as theoretical model for coincidence summing of X-and gamma rays of radionuclides with complex decays schemes. This method enables: a) identification of allpossible decay paths and decay paths outcomes; b)calculation of particular path outcome, probabilities and corresponding energy deposited in the detector; c) determination of theoretical expressions for count rates of single and summing peaks as well as for total count rate, where the unknown quantities are the total and peak detection efficiencies. This method can be applied to the point sources and for small source-to-detector distances. lt was successfully applied to the decay of 13e6", 576o, '338., and 75Se. The DMM method was tested on the equivalence with other methods for calculation of coincidence summing corrections by G. Kanisch, T. Vidmar and O. Sima and a good agreement with the GESPRECOR program was confirmed for point sources of 133Ba, 13aCs and, 152Er. ln the case of the volume sources, calculations of coincidence summing corrections, peak and total efficiencies are more complex than for point sources. Laboratory for Nuclear and Plasma Physics participated in the intercomparison, organized by the Gamma-ray Spectrometry working group of the lnternational Committee for Radionuclide Metrology (ICRM). Volume iorr.", filled by radioactive solution ("'Er, 134Cs) and with different absorbers have been considered. Results obtained by DMM method showed satisfactory agreement with the mean values.

AB  - Three main ingredients of modern laundry detergent or washing powder are builders (50 % by weight, approximately), the alkylbenzenesulfonate surfactant (15 %), and bleaches (7 %). One of the most common builders (water softeners) is sodium triphosphate. Mainly, detergent ingredients have low biodegradation rate in environment resulting in a number of negative effects. Additionally, heavy use of soluble sodium triphosphate eventually discharged into natural waters lead to problem with eutrophication of lakes and streams. Also, phosphate deposits can contain significant amounts of naturally occurring heavy metals (cadmium, lead, nickel, copper, chromium, and uranium). For these reasons wastewater containing phosphate detergents should be directed to the sewerage system. In order to provide a high level of protection of the environment, the European Union introduced regulations to require biodegradability in all detergents in 2004 [1], and intends to ban phosphates in domestic products from 2013 [2]. Presence of the phosphates in sample, in most cases indicates the presence of uranium and its daughter products. In order to perceive the radiological aspect of environmental pollution by wastewater, the analysis of laundry detergent available on Serbian market was undertaken. Measurements were performed by means of HPGe gamma spectrometer (35 % relative efficiency) in accordance with international recommendation [3]. Ten samples were placed in Marinelly bakers, sealed for six weeks and after reaching radioactive equilibrium measured. Total count rates in recorded spectra ranged from 2.32 s-1kg-1 to 3.69 s-1kg-1. Specific activities of 210Pb ranged from 3 to 11.1 Bqkg1, 40K from 1.25 to 22.2 Bqkg-1, 226Ra from 0.1 to 8.6 Bqkg-1; concentrations of 238U and 232Th were up to 6.6 Bqkg-1 and 1.1 Bqkg-1, respectively, while artificial radionuclides were below MDA (137Cs<0.04 Bqkg-1). Analysis of the obtained results showed that laundry detergents mostly used in Serbia have low content of radionuclides, but still considering the quantities used annually (~107 kg), this aspect of environmental pollution through wastewaters can not be neglected. Also, it should be mentioned that in facilities for wastewater treatment during the technological processes involved in water purification, precipitation and accumulation of radioactivity can occur, although the content of radionuclides is not expected to be high.

abstract = "Three main ingredients of modern laundry detergent or washing powder are builders (50 % by weight, approximately), the alkylbenzenesulfonate surfactant (15 %), and bleaches (7 %). One of the most common builders (water softeners) is sodium triphosphate. Mainly, detergent ingredients have low biodegradation rate in environment resulting in a number of negative effects. Additionally, heavy use of soluble sodium triphosphate eventually discharged into natural waters lead to problem with eutrophication of lakes and streams. Also, phosphate deposits can contain significant amounts of naturally occurring heavy metals (cadmium, lead, nickel, copper, chromium, and uranium). For these reasons wastewater containing phosphate detergents should be directed to the sewerage system. In order to provide a high level of protection of the environment, the European Union introduced regulations to require biodegradability in all detergents in 2004 [1], and intends to ban phosphates in domestic products from 2013 [2]. Presence of the phosphates in sample, in most cases indicates the presence of uranium and its daughter products. In order to perceive the radiological aspect of environmental pollution by wastewater, the analysis of laundry detergent available on Serbian market was undertaken. Measurements were performed by means of HPGe gamma spectrometer (35 % relative efficiency) in accordance with international recommendation [3]. Ten samples were placed in Marinelly bakers, sealed for six weeks and after reaching radioactive equilibrium measured. Total count rates in recorded spectra ranged from 2.32 s-1kg-1 to 3.69 s-1kg-1. Specific activities of 210Pb ranged from 3 to 11.1 Bqkg1, 40K from 1.25 to 22.2 Bqkg-1, 226Ra from 0.1 to 8.6 Bqkg-1; concentrations of 238U and 232Th were up to 6.6 Bqkg-1 and 1.1 Bqkg-1, respectively, while artificial radionuclides were below MDA (137Cs<0.04 Bqkg-1). Analysis of the obtained results showed that laundry detergents mostly used in Serbia have low content of radionuclides, but still considering the quantities used annually (~107 kg), this aspect of environmental pollution through wastewaters can not be neglected. Also, it should be mentioned that in facilities for wastewater treatment during the technological processes involved in water purification, precipitation and accumulation of radioactivity can occur, although the content of radionuclides is not expected to be high.",

AB  - Coal as the most widely used fossil fuel contains traces of naturally occurring radioactivity from uranium and thorium series and 40K. The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) estimated that average concentrations in coal worldwide are 50 Bq/kg for 40K and 20 Bq/kg for both 238U and 232Th (range 5 Bq/kg – 300 Bq/kg). [1] Activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclide 40K, 238U and 232Th for tree groups of samples of coal and mineral matter mixed with coal (I (2008 year – 30 samples), II (2009 year – 26 samples) and III (2010 year – 26 samples)) are presented in this paper. Representative samples of different coal quality were especially collected at different locations at open pit mines in RB “Kolubara” which has annual production of 29 millions tones of lignite for the power generation at TPP “Nicola Tesla”, Obrenovac. The samples were pulverized, dried and sealed in Marinelli plastic boxes 0.5 l, and stored for forty days until radioactive equilibrium between 226Ra and its decay products were achieved. All samples were measured by means of coaxial germanium HPGe detector (ORTEC GEM-30, 30 % relative efficiency and 1.8 keV resolution for 60Co at 1332 keV line). The detector was calibrated using standard solutions with radionuclide activities certified by CMI [2]. The experimentally obtained spectra were processed using Canberra’s Genie2000 software. The activity concentrations of 238U and 232Th were determined indirectly from the gamma-rays emitted by their progenies while 40K was determined directly by its gamma-line of 1460.8 keV. It can be seen from this table that the measured coal samples have low activity concentrations and the artificial radionuclides were not detected. The obtained activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides in analyzed coal samples are comparable with those in coals from other countries [3, 4]

The results of measurements of phosphogypsum, moss soil and water samples are presented in this paper. The specific activities of naturally occurring gamma emitters originated from uranium and thorium series were determined in the phosphogypsum and moss soil samples. Besides them, the content of: 57Co, 60Co, 65Zn, 134Cs, 137Cs, 54Mn, 133Ba and 152Eu were determined in water samples.  The obtained results showed generally a very good agreement with referent values of specific activities given by IAEA. The accuracy and precision of the reported results were acceptable.

AB  - The determination of low activity concentration of uranium and radium isotopes in environmental samples could be performed by using alpha spectrometry in combination with radiochemical separation. This procedure usually requires demanding radio-chemical procedures before qualitative and quantitative analysis. Each step in the chemical separation process can involve losses of the analyte. The chemical recovery could be determined by using appropriate yield tracers such as 232U and 133Ba. For the preparation of the thin sources for high resolution ospectrometry electrodeposition and/or microcoprecipitation are the most often used methods. Several analytical techniques can be applied for determination of uranium and radium isotopes in waters and soils. The two largest categories of methods are radiometric and non-radiometric methods. Radiometric methods are used as routine procedures combined with selective solvent extraction. They give rapid information on total uranium and radium activity concentration, and their isotopic composition. Radiometric techniques need longer sample preparation than non-radiometric, but they give more reliable information about isotopic ratios of interest. Samples of water after filtering and spiking with a known amount ol 232U or 1338a tracer (depending on radionuclides to be analyzed) should be chemically treated. On the prepared samples mikrocoprecipitation could be applied (determination of uranium isotopes needs previous separating using UTEVA resin). Samples of soil should be ashed to exclude any organic matter, and after spiking with a known amount of already mentioned tracers, the adequate chemical procedure should be applied. The final phase of the procedure is almost identical as for water samples. Source prepared after the radiochemical treatment by electrodeposition and/or microcoprecipitation should be measured by means of semiconductor Si detector with surface barrier (or PIPS detector), for several days due to low specific activity of the initial sample. After complex spectral analysis the unknown activity could be obtained.
