Abstract (EN)

All living creatures on earth are exposed to natural radiation. Natural external radiationconsists of cosmic rays and terrestrial radiation. U-238, Th-232 and K-40 are the main naturalcontributors to external exposure from gamma terrestrial radiation. Calculation ofenvironmental dose levels produced by natural radioactive nuclei enables us to establish animportant component of the total environmental dose received by man.In this work, gamma spectroscopy system that measures environmental radiation ispresented. Various experiments related to spectroscopy system are conducted. Interactions ofgamma radiation with matter and the effects of this radiation on human health are investigated.Radiation dose received by man exposed to gamma terrestrial radiation in Kütahya is presented.Also, 20 soil samples in central Kütahya were collected and the terrestrial radiation forthese samples was measured.Key Words: Gamma Spectroscopy, NaI(Tl) Spectrometers.
