Abstract AR
في ھذا البحث تم قیاس تراكیز الیورانیوم لعشرین نموذج تربة سطحیة لمناطق منتخبة (بعض منھا تم قیاسھ لأول مرة حسب علم الباحثون) من محافظة ذي قار باستخدام تقنیة عد أثار شظایا الانشطار النووي و الناتج من انشطار نواة (235 (U-من خلال قصفھا بالنیوترونات الحراریة.
بینت النتائج إلى أن أعلى تركیز للیورانیوم في التربة السطحیة للمناطق المنتخبة في محافظة ذي قار كان في T1 منطقة (الرفاعي) و الذي كان یساوي (2.896 (ppm بینما اقل تركیز للیورانیوم كان في T18 منطقة (كرمة بني سعید و الذي كان یساوي (0.779 Ppm)و بمعدل (ppm 2.077 ± 0.4)، و قد بینت النتائج الحالیة أن تراكیز الیورانیوم لجمیع نماذج التربة السطحیة المدروسة كانت اقل من القیمة المسموحة (11.7 ppm)و الموصى بھا من قبل اللجنة العلمیة للأمم المتحدة لتأثيرات الإشعاع الذري .(1993, UNSCEAR)
Abstract EN
The present work is concerned with the measurements of uranium concentrations in twenty surface soil samples from selected locations (some of them were measured for the first time as far as authors know) in Thi-Qar governorate by using uranium fission fragment U-235 (n-f), obtained by the bombardment of U-235 with thermal neutrons.
The results have shown that, the highest uranium concentration in surface soil samples in the selected regions in Thi-Qar governorate was found in T1 (AL-Refai) region , which was equal to (2.896 ppm), while the lowest uranium concentration was found in T18 (Garmat Beni Saeed) region which was equal to (0.779 ppm), with an average value of (2.077 ± 0.4 ppm).
The present results have show that the uranium concentrations in the studied surface soil samples were less than the allowed value (11.7 ppm) recommended by (UNSCEAR, 1993).
