JF - Journal of Science and Mathematics Letters JA - JSML VL - 8 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - 10.37134/jsml.vol8.1.4.2020 UR - https://ejournal.upsi.edu.my/index.php/JSML/article/view/2660 SP - 27-36 AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">The data for this research contains the in-situ measured activity concentration of radionuclides and gamma-radiation dose rate obtained from the radiometric survey in Azara development area of Awe Local Government, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The data were manually collected in eight (8) locations with 20 data taken from each point using a portable hand held Thermo Scientific Interceptor and a radionuclide IdentiFINDER. The descriptive statistical analysis of the data was equally explored for possible statistical relationships. The result obtained is made available publicly for further extended analyses that can provide insights into the safety status of the study area from radiological health concerns. The data could also serve as a significant baseline radiometric data for future researches and monitoring initiative in Azara and its environs.
