Item Iğdır region environmental radiological monitoring programme 2013 – 2016 evaluation results(Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, 2018) Gülay, Yusuf; Dikmen, Hasan; Yıldız, Çiğdem; Bıyık, Recep; Aybers, Mehmet Timuçin; TAEK-NGD"The monitoring of the radiological effects of nuclear power plants around Turkey” was added to TAEK's annual work programme as an ongoing activity for the purpose of monitoring the radiological effects of nuclear power plants around Turkey in 2013. As part of this activity, The Iğdır Region Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program was completed in 2015 (TAEK, 2015) and radiological monitoring studies were carried out within this program (TAEK, 2017). Air, surface water, soil, drinking water and local food samples were collected and laboratory measurements were performed for the determination of environmental radioactivity levels. Environmental dose rate measurements were performed periodically by using the continuously operated RESA (Early Warning Environmental Radiation Monitoring System) units stationed in the region. Detected radioactivity levels in drinking water samples were below the monitoring levels (Official Gazette, 2013). Maximum H-3 activity was detected as 0.82 Bq/m3 and total indicative dose, for the measured Sr-90 and Cs-137 values, was calculated as 87.89 nSv/year considering the ingestion of drinking waters. When these values were compared with the stated values in the regulation (Official Gazette, 2013), for the indicative dose of 0.1 mSv/year, or for the limit value of 100 Bq/l for H-3, they were in conformity with the no further monitoring were needed conditions as for the H-3 activity, and for the other dose contributing nuclides in the drinking waters.
