Evaluation of U, Th, K and emanated radon in some NORM and TENORM samples
TL;DR: The results indicated that the high activity levels, radium equivalent activity, absorbed-gamma dose rate and effective annual dose rate were found in monazite, zircon and PG wastes as compared to the other materials as discussed by the authors.

Assessment of spatial distribution and radiological hazardous nature of radionuclides in high background radiation area, Kerala, India
TL;DR: Cluster analysis shows that light minerals play a role in cluster I sampling sites and heavy minerals may be played in sampling sites of other clusters and Calculated activity ratio confirmed the presence of light andheavy minerals in above mentioned sampling sites.

Table of Isotopes
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-volume work contains nuclear structure and decay data for over 3,100 isotopes and isomers and extensive appendices have been entirely rewritten, expediting retrieval and use of nuclear information for many areas of research.
sources and effects of ionizing radiation
TL;DR: This annex is aimed at providing a sound basis for conclusions regarding the number of significant radiation accidents that have occurred, the corresponding levels of radiation exposures and numbers of deaths and injuries, and the general trends for various practices, in the context of the Committee's overall evaluations of the levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation.

The Guelph PIXE software package IV
TL;DR: The GUPIXWIN program as discussed by the authors has been extended with a Monte Carlo code to provide detector efficiency values that are more accurate than those of the previous approximate analytical formula, and a new batch mode facility is designed to handle two-detector PIXE, with one detector measuring major elements and the other simultaneously measuring trace elements.
