ABSTRACT
This study presents the gamma spectrometric analysis of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) plants and associated soil samples collected from the area “The Orchard” in the Divdyadovo district, Shumen municipality, Bulgaria, located near the Golyama Kamchiya River. A total of 10 samples were collected and analyzed during two distinct vegetation periods – spring and summer – including different plant organs (roots, stems, leaves, pods, seeds) and soil. The investigation focused on the distribution and activity levels of naturally occurring radionuclides belonging to the uranium-radium and uranium-actinium decay series. The aim was to assess potential radiological risks and understand radionuclide uptake by plants from the soil.
