Sivrice Fault Zone of the East Anatolia Fault System is seismically active and it often produces
earthquakes in various magnitudes (almost between 2.0-4.5 Md). Recently, we have been monitoring the
existence of soil radon in different four locations of this zone. The radon existence on the fault zone is
slighly higher than other locations. Thus, it is interesting to determine the gross alpha and beta
radioactivity concentrations in the water and soil of the same location where the soil radon monitoring
was done to determine whether there was any correlation between radioactivity concentration and soil
radon or not. Determination of the gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity concentrations were done by
using ZnS (Ag) and beta sensitive plastic detectors, respectively. The obtained results for both
measurements were concluded.
