Use of nuclear techniques in soil science: A literature review of the Brazilian contribution

Luiz Fernando Pires et al.

Summary: This review highlights the basic research and applications of gamma-ray attenuation, neutron gauges, and Cs-137 fallout techniques for studying soil physical processes and properties, as carried out by Brazilian researchers in past decades. Future studies should focus on improving understanding of photon interaction with soil, selecting appropriate photon energies for investigating different soils, and developing more effective neutron detection systems. Challenges for the future use of Cs-137 fallout technique include the worldwide decrease in Cs-137 activity and the need for advanced detection systems to overcome this issue.

Can the Granulometric Soil Fractions Attenuate the Radiation Differently from the Whole Soil?

Luis Valerio Prandel et al.

Summary: This research aimed to discriminate soil fractions and identify the ones contributing significantly to the soil mass attenuation coefficient through mineralogical and elemental analyses. The study revealed that information about radiation interaction in soils can be obtained through analyzing the elemental and mineralogical composition of different soil fractions.
