Abstract

The article analyzes the effect of the radioactivity of some crude oil components on the environment in the Moine?ti geological area. The analysis of the equivalent dose flow measurements shows the influence of contaminated equipment, in the areas adjacent to them, where when measuring the soil were obtained values of dose flow between 0.2 - 3.0 ?Sv/h, both at a height of 10 cm from of soil, as well as at a height of 100 cm from the ground, with a maximum of 3.5 ?Sv/h. By interpreting the results of the determinations made, it is ascertained the contamination with radioactive elements of the equipments in the endowment of the analyzed separators - tanks park and it is recommended to remove them from the location under radiological control. The analysis of soil samples from a depth of 100 cm suggests that deep contamination can be discussed, as it is present throughout the depth, in differentiated layers.
