The natural radionuclide ((226)Ra, (232)Th and (40)K) contents were determined for nine different locations in nine different towns of the Edirne city. Radiation levels were measured. Natural beta-ray activity was also determined for the same locations. The average estimated activity values were determined and compared with reported values for other cities in Turkey and also for many countries of the world. The studied areas do not pose radiological risks to the inhabitants due to harmful effects of the ionizing radiation from the natural radioactivity of the soil.en10.12693/APhysPolA.130.64info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDistrictProvinceRegionAlphaK-40Conference Object13016467Q4WOS:0003848107000172-s2.0-84987849524Q4
