Oday H. R. AlBodairy, Eshraq M. Hassan, Meha Riyadh

Abstract: In this research study the level of background radiation for four selected areas of soil the district of al-Qasim/ Babil province. by using the counting system and electronic analysis to detect radiation gamma and the detector NaI (Tl) radionuclide resulting from the dissolution chains of 238U and 232Th ( 214Bi, 214Pb 234Th 226 Ra, 212Bi) are produced in addition to radionuclide potassium individual (40K), the paper also counts the radioactivity of each radionuclide and its concentration within the Sample unit (mg / Kg), and calculate the ratios of natural uranium, depleted uranium, the creation of ratio between 238U / 235U, Where results proved the presence of varying proportions of depleted uranium contamination of the sites (1, 3, 4), ranging between (0.005466_ 0.006456), which is located within the limits allowed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, (0.0046).
