Aktivitas NORM pada Sedimen Dasar di Perairan PLTU Tanjung Jati Jepara dan Kaitannya dengan Ukuran Butir Sedimen serta TOC
Main Article Content
Abstract
NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) is a radionuclide element which naturally exists in the earth and its content can increased with the presence of industrial activities, such as the PLTU. The PLTU activities produce fly ash and bottom ash which will be carried away by the wind and then fall in the waters and settle on the bottom sediments of the waters. This study was aimed to determine the activity of NORM in bottom sediments related activities PLTU Tanjung Jati Jepara and its relationship with grain size and TOC (Total Organic Carbon). Sampling was conducted by purposive sampling method. NORM activity concentration measurements performed using gamma ray spectrometry HPGe detector, in Marine Radioecology Laboratory PTKMR-BATAN. NORM activity concentration detected is 40K ranged 442.75 to 818.40 Bq.Kg-1, 232Th ranged 99.19 to 212.34 Bq.Kg-1 and 226Ra ranged 42.42 to 77.77 Bq.Kg-1. NORM activity shows the relationship with sediment texture, but does not show a relationship with the composition of Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
