Soil samples of radioactive concentrations of 238 U-series ( 234 Th, 214 Pb, and 214 Bi), 232 Th-series ( 228 Ac, 212 Pb, and 208 Tl) and 40 K were analyzed. Three objectives were set: (1) activity levels by surface soil sampling at 0~30 cm depth, (2) dose rates of gamma radiation, radium equivalent, index hazard, and effective dose, and (3) ambient dose rates.
