Dr. Ahmed O. Farhan, a researcher at the Renewable Energy Research Center – University of Anbar publish a scientific article in the local journal "Iraqi Journal of Science" that has a Scopus index titled:
"Natural Radioactivity Evaluation and Radiological Peril in some soil specimens of Al-Taimeem Area in Al-Anbar Province, Iraq"
In the present study, the radioactivity of ten soil specimens has been measured, which were gathered from various sites in AL-Taimeem area in Al-Anbar province, The qualitative activity of natural radionuclides 238U, 232Th and 40K for soil specimens were evaluated by utilizing gamma-ray spectroscopy with NaI (Tl) detector of (3"×3") dimension. The results revealed that the qualitative activity, for 238U was varied from (14.730 Bq/kg) to (28.070 Bq/kg), for 232Th was varied from (16.510 Bq/kg) to (29.480 Bq/kg), for 40K was varied from (143.820 Bq/kg) to (231.550 Bq/kg), with average values of (21.152±2.98 Bq/kg), (24.219±3.93 Bq/kg), (190.720±22.20 Bq/kg), successively. To survey the radiological peril in soil, radium effective activity, absorbed gamma dose in air, annual effective dose equivalent (inner and outer), gamma concentration level index and both (interior and exterior) radiation peril index have been computed, and all the existed results were less than recommended by the International Committee for the Radiation Protection (ICRP).
