Abstract
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, colorless, radioactive, tasteless, and noble gas. Radon concentrations have been measured by the usage of alpha spectroscopy (RAD-7). The RAD-7 measuring process is based on detecting alpha particles produced from the disintegration of radon and its products using a solid-state alpha detector (usually silicon), and then converting alpha radiation directly to an electrical signal. The radioactivity of radon gas was measured in forty-two samples from reservoir water for different areas north of Baghdad utilizing a RAD7 detector. This study proved that the high value of radon concentrations was less than the permissible limit as recorded by the World Health Organization.
