Apart from two geothermal water samples, all geothermal water samples were found below the minimum detectable activity (MDA) values. 226Ra activity concentrations in residue samples were measured from 40±4 Bq kg-1 to 2694±85 Bq kg-1. 232Th activity concentration of residue samples are varying from 33±4 Bq kg-1 to 2388±85 Bq kg-1. 40K activity concentrations of residue samples are ranged between MDA to 967±30 Bq kg-1. The radium equivalent activities of samples are varied from 91±8 Bq kg-1 to 6161±46 Bq kg-1. The annual effective doses of residues were calculated lower than permitted dose rate for public, i.e. 1 mSv y-1. However it was found that if parameter values are changed additional annual effective doses can rise over the reference level of 1 mSv.engAttribution 3.0 United Statesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRadiological risksRadyolojik risklerRadiation dosesRadyasyon dozlarıGeothermal samplesJeotermal numunelerNaturally occurring radionuclidesDoğal olarak oluşan radyonüklidlerarticle1575855934
