The distribution of the anthropogenic (Cs and Cs) and natural (U, Th and K) radionuclide concentrations were studied in soil, foodstuff and bioindicator samples collected from the near site of the Medzamor Nuclear Power Plant at the border of eastern Anatolia of Turkey. For some time, the gross-a and b-concentrations were also determined in the water samples of the region and the absorbed dose rates in air at 1 m above ground were measured. The results showed no additional artificial contamination from the Medzamor Nuclear Power Plant before June 1996.
