Abstract— Beach Sand Exploitation Centre at Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, produces commercial grade concentrations of magnetite, ilmenite, zircon, etc., from the high-grade accumulations available along the beach and foredune of Cox’s Bazar. Solid state nuclear track detectors (CR-39 foils) were used to determine indoor radon concentration of radioactive mineral sands and the technologically enhanced radiation level inside the pilot plant of the Centre. It is found that the concentrations at processed mineral stock areas are high, and the maximum concentration was found to be 2,103 ± 331 Bq m−3 (0.23 ± 0.03 WL). The indoor concentration of radon and its decay products in the raw sand stock area and at other locations was in the range of 116 ± 27 Bq m−3 (0.03 ± 0.003 WL) to 2,042 ± 233 Bq m−3 (0.22 ± 0.03 WL).
