Abstract
The aim of this study is to measure the concentrations of uranium for (17) samples of plants and soils that collected from different areas in Baghdad city. The technique is based on the calculation of the probability of registration α–particles by using the CN-85 track detector that is one of solid state nuclear track detectors SSNTDs and fission fragment track technique. The nuclear reaction used as source of uranium fission fragment is U-235 (n-f) obtained by the bombardment of U-235 with thermal neutrons emitted from (Am-Be) neutron source with thermal neutron flux (5000n/cm2.s) for seven days. The concentration of uranium was calculated by comparison with the standard samples. The concentrations of uranium in plants samples was ranging between (0.8-2.37 ppm) with average of (1.59 ppm). The concentrations of uranium in soils samples was ranging between (3.67-3.99ppm) with average of (3.82ppm). All results are agreement with the permissible limit and less than the allowed limit (11.7 ppm) from UNSCEAR.
