Radioactivity of natural mineral sources in the Puy de Dôme (2019-2021 / ZATU's TIRAMISU project)

The Zone Atelier Territoires Uranifères (ZATU) focuses on aquatic ecosystems of mineral sources with significant natural radioactivity.

The data presents the results of radionuclide measurements (Thorium, Uranium, Radium, Polonium, Radon) in the natural sources studied (water and sediment). The area concerned is mainly the Puy de Dôme, with some additional data from other departments in Auvergne. The measurements cover the period 2019-2021. The laboratories involved in these measurements are the LPC (UMR 6533) in Clermont Ferrand, SUBATECH (UMR 6457) in Nantes and the INC in Nice.

These measurements were carried out as part of ZATU's TIRAMISU project.

The analytical techniques used were gamma spectrometry, alpha spectrometry and ICP-MS-HR.
