Risk Assessment of some Radioactive Nuclei in Al-Shomali Bricks Factories, Babil Governorate, Iraq

Abstract The current research aims to evaluate the level of natural and industrial radioactive activity soil samples collected from city Shomali - Babil Governorate, by 13 with a depth 20 cm, where spectral analysis technique was used for high-purity germanium detector. Where it found that rate specific effectiveness each 226 Ra, 214 Pb, Bi, 232 Th, 212 228 Ac, 40 K, 60 Co in studied (28.4±3.47), (13.6±2.58),( 12. ±2.46), (11±2.58), (58.4±5.38), (45±4.36), (100.1±9.11), (0.78±0.05) respectively. In this research, values hazard indicators were also found, which varied, as most calculated are universally acceptable, but some have exceeded internationally permissible limits.
