Abstract
Radon and Thoron concentrations have been measured in the soil along Jwalamukhi thrust in Himachal Pradesh (North western Himalaya), India. The solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) have been fixed at fourty six locations in the north western part of Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh. The values of Radon concentration have been observed in the range 490.75 Bq/m3 to 6797.25 Bq/m3 and Thoron varied from 154 Bq/m3 to a maximum value 8033.5 Bq/m3. Calculated values of porosity for different locations varied in the range 0.91 to 0.99.
