Abstract: Radioactivity is a natural physical phenomenon of our world found in rocks, air, food, and even inside us. However, many people misunderstand it and assume it is always dangerous. The RockyRAD measures terrestrial radioactivity, focusing on natural radioelement like U, Th, and K, which are found in rocks in typical abundances of 2.5 ppm, 10 ppm, and 2.3%, respectively.
