PENGUKURAN RADIOAKTIVITAS DAN RADIASI-GAMMA LINGKUNGAN DI PROVINSI LAMPUNG

Abstract

The activity made in every place, either involving nuclear energy or not, it naturally has the potential of
radioactivity. The measurement of radioactivity should be taken in both resident area and in the centre of
food production, including the Lampung Province. The radioactivity data at the Lampung Province were
needed to know the level of the radiation, so it would give comfortable living and safety to the residents of
Lampung Province. The researches were carried out on various substances including foods, water, air, grass,
and soil. Before the radioactivity measurement is taken, each of the samples was prepared as a concentrate.
The results showed that the level of radiation both radioactivity and gamma in every place taken at Lampung
Province in general were normal.
