“…Additionally, radioactivity from the oil sector 106 can be found in sludge and scale's liquid and solid phases. Uranium, thorium, radium, and other natural radionuclides can all be used in the process (NORMs) of radiation and radiation production; these radionuclides in the workplace can increase maintenance personnel's exposure [4]. The regulatory authority must develop and implement safety assessment rules.…”

The measurements of radioactive concentrations using portable radiological devices for radiochemistry laboratories at the Al-Tuwaitha nuclear site (section C) were studied, section C consists of three laboratories, C1, C2, and C3 were used, Redeye device to measure the radioactive concentrations of alpha and beta emitters, and the Interceptor™ Specifications device to detect radioisotopes. The results showed the presence of radioactive contamination in Unit C distributed over most of its parts. In the C1 laboratory, the highest radioactive contamination was recorded in HCL2 with a concentration of 113.65Bq/cm2. In addition, the C2 laboratory recorded the highest radioactive concentration in FH1 with a concentration of 830.14Bq/cm2 for Beta particle emitters, while the C3 laboratory recorded the highest pollution in FH contamination with a radioactive concentration of 75.26 Bq/cm2. The results show that location C shows the isotopes detected in the laboratory components, such as Cesium 137Cs, Neptunium 237Np, and Americium 241Am. The results showed the presence of contamination on the laboratory floor in the fourth part, contaminated with Americium 241Am and Lutetium 167Lu isotopes. While location B did not record radioactive contamination in most of its parts except for room B8 which recorded radioactive concentrations of about 1.33 Bq/cm2. While location A, that is, no radioactive contamination was recorded, and the readings were within the permissible limits

Fifty-seven bacterial isolates were obtained from a previous study; these were collected out of twenty-seven soil-contaminated samples in Iraq. Rumaila oil field, Bai-Hassan oil field, and East Baghdad oil field are located in Iraq. The results of bacterial degradation of hydrocarbons components showed that 44% of P. aeruginosa as well as 50% of S. marcescens possessed the ability to degrade anthracene, as well 60% of P. aeruginosa and 50% of each S. marcescens, B. cepacia, and A. radioersistens with 100% of K. pneumoniae possessed the degradation ability of phenathrene. Finally, the results illustrated that 55.56%, 83.3%, and 50% of P. aeruginosa, S. marcescens, and B. cepacia, respectively, in addition to 100% of each A. radioersistens and K. pneumoniae had the degradation ability of naphthalene. Optimization results showed that pH 7 and temperature 35ºwith peptone as a nitrogen source were the best degradation parameters. Finally, the results showed significant activity of OSE II in the bacterial degradation of naphthalene without any effects on phenathrene and anthracene. Keywords: OSE II, hydrocarbons, bacterial degradation, anthracene, phenanthrene, and naphthalene
