Read MoreThereafter, uranium and thorium concentrations in zircon were measured by NAA and revealed that zircon contained 94-141 ppm uranium and 127-506 ppm thorium. Therefore, this noticeable amount of uranium and thorium in zircon should be taken in consideration during any mining attempt of the placer minerals present in Cox's Bazar beaches.
