- Abstract
The object of this work was to determinate the radioactive levels in soil samples and in the agricultural products from the Central-south region of Cuba. Approximately, 200 analysis were done The strontium 90 was determinated by radiochemical separation and the determination of gamma emitters contents in the samples was carried out by spectrometric analysis, using a semiconductor detector (Ge-Li), a scintillation detector Nal (TI) and HPGe detector. The results obtained in the components studied: soils and agricultural products, show that the concentrations of natural radionuclides are similar to those reported for normal regions. In the case of artificial radionuclides, their concentrations are similar to those reported for regions which have been affected only by the global radioactive precipitations.
