Abstract AR

الهدف من البحث الحالي هو حساب تركز مطلقات ألفا في نماذج طابوق باستخدام تقنية عد آثار جسيمات ألفا المنبعثة من النوى المشعة (218Po, 226Ra, 232Th, 238U) باستخدام كاشف الأثر النووي ((CR-39 لمناطق مختلفة من العشاق هي الحلة، كربلاء، نجف، بغداد، ديالى، و سامراء.

شععت النماذج لشهر واحد و من ثم تم استخدام هيدروكسيد الصوديوم كمحلول قاشط و بعياريه 6.25 N و بدرجة حرارة مقدارها 60 ºC لمدة 6 ساعات.

و قد أوضحت النتائج التي حصلنا عليها أن أعلى معدل لتركيز مطلقات ألفا في نماذج الطابوق النجف حيث بلغت 4.65 ppm، بينما اقل معدل لتركيز مطلقات ألفا في نماذج الطابق كان في ديالى حيث بلغ 1.85 ppm .

Abstract EN

The aim of the present work is to determine the alpha particles concentration in clay bricks samples taken from Hilla, Karbala, Najaf, Baghdad, Diyala, and Samarra governorates, emitted from the radioactive elements (radionuclides) (U-238, Th-232, Ra-226, and Po-218) by using nuclear track detector (CR-39), taken from many places of Iraq.

Used one month irradiation time and then etched by 6.25 N of NaOH solution at temperature of 60 oC for 6 h.

The results obtained have shown that the highest average alpha particles concentration in clay bricks samples was found in Najaf region which was 4.65 ppm, while the lowest average alpha particles concentration was found in Diyala region which was 1.26 ppm.
