    Abstract: The activity concentrations of twenty soil samples collected from contaminated locations of Fuel Fabrication Facility (FFF) at Al- Tuwaitha nuclear site, Iraq, were determined by using spectroscopy with a high purity germanium detector. The range of activity concentrations of 238U (234mPa), 235U, 232Th (228Ac), and 40K in the soil from the studied ... Show More

    Abstract: Pediatric patients are among the most sensitive on ionizing radiation when they should be undergoing an X-Ray screening. The delivered dose to the pediatric patients should be well optimized to minimize the harmful effect of the X-Ray examinations. The objectives of this work are to measure at chest level and corresponding organ doses for each pedi... Show More

    Abstract: In this study Soil gas radon 222Rn activity was measured in different locations at Al-Tuwaitha Nuclear Site and the surrounding areas using RAD7 (radon detector). Radon activity in the soil gas varied from (866±150 to 16004±521) Bq/m3 near Alaibtihal School and Ishtar \ Al-Ttakhi School respectively. These concentrations values are well below the a... Show More
