Özet

"Off-the-shelf" clinical linear electron accelerators (LINAC) have been suggested as alternative to research accelerators once they are no longer suitable for the medical applications. We investigated feasibility of utilising a modified LINAC for instrumental photon activation analysis (IPAA) as a tool in environmental geochemistry studies. The IPAA results were compared with those obtained using a MT-25 research accelerator at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia. To investigate soil pollution in Antalya, Turkey, 90 surface soil samples were analysed and significant enrichments of Ni, Cr and As were found.
