Abstract

The amount of uranium was evaluated in soil samples taken from various residential, industrial, and agricultural areas in the southern Amara Governorate in southern Iraq using the neutron activation technique of CR-39 solid nuclear track detectors. Uranium values in soil samples ranged from 0.795 parts per million to 2.05 parts per million, according to the results. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 10 cm. The results were compared to publicly available data and found to be within acceptable ranges.
