Measurement of Gross Alpha-Beta, Radionuclide Activity Concentration of Water of the Suleymanli Thermae and the Ekinozu Spa and Elemental Analysis in Kahramanmaras, Turkey

Abstract

The gross alpha and beta radioactivity concentrations and radionuclide activity concentrations in the water of the Suleymanli thermae and the Ekinozu spa have been measured. In addition, the elemental analysis has been done in the water of The Suleymanli thermae and The Ekinozu spa by using XRF. Samples taken from Ekinözü spa and The Suleymanli thermae have been stimulated both by ²⁴¹Am and ⁵⁵Fe radioactive source. We have found various concentrations of Ca, Fe, Sr and Ba by the analysis of the water samples taken from Ekinözü spa and we have found Ca, Sr, Ba and trace of Ag in samples from Süleymanlı thermae.
