Abstract:
Used Nuclear track detectors (CR-39 detector) to measured radon concentration and activity in soil sample, Radium content and Uranium concentrations in soil sample in depth (15-30-45-60) cm for four oil fields (Jumbor (15), Khabaz (5), Bai Hassan (96), Bai Hassan (3), Avanah
(93) in Kirkuk city-northern Iraq. The mean of radon concentration in soil sample is (3572.612 Bq. m-3) with range
(252.52-8585.58 Bq. m-3) for study area. Mean and range of the activity of radon for the sample in irradiation tube is (0.704 Bq) and (0.321-1.283 Bq)
respectively for the soil in study area .The mean of Radium concentration is
(4.95) Bq.Kg-1 with range (1.78-7.15) Bq.Kg-1 in the study area, all the concentration of radium is below the action level (370Bq.Kg-1) as recommended by OECD. The mean and range of Uranium concentration (0.945) ppm with range (0.1- 2.2) ppm for soil samples in study area. All results measured are within the safe limit.
