Abstract

The study included an assessment of the level of natural and industrial specific radioactivity of soil samples using the spectral analysis technique of a high-purity germanium detector, where 8 samples of soil were collected at depth 20 cm in the city of Al-Kifl - Babil Governorate. Where it was found that the rate of specific effectiveness for each of 226Ra, 214Pb, 214Bi, 232Th, 212Pb, 228Ac, 40K, 60Co, 137Cs in the studied soil samples (26.3±3.38), (31.2±3.15),(14.2±2.43), (11.5±2.36), (57.5±5.45), (56.8±4.86), (131.6±10.3), (0.802±0.07), (0.53±0.05) respectively.

The radioactive hazard indicators were also calculated, and the results of the calculation were different between the calculated indicators, as the majority of the calculated indicators were universally accepted .Some indicators have exceeded the permissible limits globally.
