Abstract

This study aims to determine the background levels of tritium radioisotope in drinking and seawater samples of Sinop province before the nuclear power plant was established in Sinop. In this context, a total of 174 water samples were collected, these are as follows: 9 drinking water samples from the Sinop center and districts and 165 seawater samples from the seacoast from Samsun to Kastamonu. Tritium concentrations in the collected water samples were measured by the liquid scintillation counter. The minimum detectable activity for the method used was found to be 1.48 Bq/L. The tritium concentrations of the seawater and drinking water samples were found in the range of

计划在土耳其锡诺普（Sinop）建造核电站之前饮用水和表层海水中的氚含量及其对人类的辐射风险

本研究旨在确定锡诺普省在核电站建成前饮用水和海水样本中氚放射性同位素的本底水平。为此，共采集了174个水样，其中9个来自Sinop中心和各区的饮用水样本，165个来自Samsun至Kastamonu海岸的海水样本。用液体闪烁计数器测定所收集水样中的氚浓度。该方法的最低检测活性为1.48 Bq/L。海水和饮用水样品的氚浓度分别在
