The distribution of the anthropogenic (134Cs and 137Cs) and natural (238U, 232Th and 40K) 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.
