THE USE OF THE NUCLEAR DETECTOR EFFECT (CR -39) IN DETERMINING THE CONCENTRATION OF RADON IN A SAMPLES OF THE NASIRIYA CITY SOIL SOUTH OF IRAQ

The research aims at measure the concentration of radon in the soil using nuclear detector effect (CR-39). The researcher took samples of five areas of Nasiriyah city by connecting the traces of alpha particles emitted by radon gas with concentrations compared with the information in the regular geological samples. The results indicate that the concentration of radon gas was uneven and exceeded the allowable limit and log the overall rate for five different regions in terms of location and nature. The record was (1386.236±24.0186) where the limit is exceeded the allowable exposure which shows radiation contamination of the by radon gas.
