The burning of pulverized coal to produce energy for generation of electricity in thermal power plants results in huge quantity of coal ash of varying properties. In India the coal based thermal power plants have been the major source of power generation in the past and would continue for decades to

✦ Synopsis
Specific activity in samples of fly ashes from Spanish coal thermal power stations at Abo~o (Asturias), Andorra (Teruel), Alcudia (Mallorca) and Cercs (Barcelona) was analysed by gamma ray spectrometry. The values obtained permit us to quantify the presence of dif ferent natural radionuclides from 232Th, 23BU, 23SU series and -4°K. The models are defined on the basis of these data to calculate the dosimetric impact caused by the use of fly ashes in the concrete.
