MEASUREMENTS OF RADON CONCENTRATIONS OF SHWEKU TANKE PAGODA AT PAKOKKU TOWNSHIP IN MAGWAY REGION, MYANMAR
Abstract
- In this research paper, radon concentrations from two places of Shweku Tanke Pagoda at Pakokku township in Magway region have been estimated by using alpha sensitive two CR-39 detectors (SSNTDs). Radon track densities, radon concentrations and annual effective doses were carried out from these two detectors at 18th March from 15th July, 2022. The radon concentrations were observed 15.78 ±8.63 Bqm-3 and 16.41 ± 10.615 Bqm-3 from two locations in these Pagoda. The radon concentrations from two places were found that lower than the recommended WHO (2009) reference level of 100Bqm-3 . The annual effective dose from two locations were observed 0.27±0.148 mSvyr-1 and 0.28±0.18 mSvyr-1 which were lower than the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommendation of 5mSvyr-1 . The radon concentrations from the two places of Shweku Tanke Pagoda were found within the safe limit.
