Abstract
Determination of uranium content in Jordanian carbonate rocks has been investigated using three different detection techniques; neutron activation analysis, gamma ray spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The average uranium concentrations from the different methods were in good agreements. A leaching test was also performed using deionized water as a leaching solution (pH = 5.7) and it was calculated that about 9 % of the total uranium amount leached out. The results showed that carbonate rocks at Central Jordan Area contains a promising amount of uranium and more investigations need to be conducted to explore the uranium content in this area.
