This study aims to assess the concentrations of natural radionuclides activity (226Ra,232Th and 40K) and calculate a number of radiation risk indicators in some types of field crops in different areas of Tikrit City - Salah Al-Din Governorate - Iraq. The measurement was carried out using a gamma ray spectroscopy connected with a scintillation detector crystallized with thallium-activated sodium iodide NaI(TI). The results were that t 0……he mean concentrations of elements (226Ra,232Th and 40K) wer (6.79±0.33 1Bq/Kg,10.79 ± 0.640 Bq/Kg, 133.34± 5.895 Bq/Kg), respectively. And the radiation risk indicators were less than the international permissible and the recommended average, so that the samples under study are safe and suitable for human and animal consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
