Abstract

This field study was undertaken to quantify the transfer factor of ¹³⁷Cs from agricultural soil to wheat grains and ingestion dose evaluation around Narora Atomic Power Station, Narora, India from 2010 to 2012. ¹³⁷Cs activity was measured using NaI (Tl) well type gamma-spectrometry system. Transfer factor of ¹³⁷Cs from soil to wheat grain samples was in the range of 0.12–0.46. Annual ingestion dose to man from ¹³⁷Cs activity was significantly lower than permissible limit (1.0 mSv year⁻¹). The risk measured due to ¹³⁷Cs is also insignificant to members of public residing around Narora Atomic Power Station, Narora, India.
