Abstract
⺠Natural radionuclides in soils around a coal fired power plant in Spain was studied. âº238U, 226Ra, 210Pb, 232Th, 224Ra, 40K and 137Cs measured by gamma-ray spectrometry. ⺠N-way PCA analysis explains 81% of the vertical radionuclide distribution in soil. ⺠Evaluation of K-parameter, Pbuns and Pbneq shows Pb depositional flux to the soil. ⺠Correlation between 210Pb and 137Cs in surface soil confirms depositional fluxes.
