In recent years fly ash has found diversified applications in construction activities such as in the formation of Bricks, as a binding material and in the production of cement etc. Thus, it is quite important to estimate the radiation risk to the population from the radon exhalation rate of fly ash. In the present study, radon exhalation rates in coal, fly ash, bottom ash and slag samples from the thermal power plant at Panki (U.P) have been measured using sealed an technique having LR-115 type
