Samples of marine surface sediments of different grain sizes collected in Gökova , a small bay
on the Aegean Turkish Coast, have been examined to measure α- and γ- radioactivity. The
purpose of this research is to define a baseline study of man-made radionuclides on sediments
collected along Gökova Bay, using a combination of direct gamma spectrometry, radiochemical
separation and a-spectrometry.
As the artificial radionuclides, 137Cs for all sediment cores samples were under detection limit.
The activity concentrations of the 239,240Pu were observed to be in the range of 0.13±0.017-
0.85±0.15Bq.kg-1. 241Am and 238Pu were identified at a very low level.
