Abstract
The assessment of radiation hazards, whether for workers or the public is very important factor in terms of radiation protection for any activities in which nuclear material or radioactive waste is dealt with. A portable NaI (TI) used to measure gamma dose rate of the contaminated soil, the specific activity of 152Eu in soil were determined using high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The results of gamma dose rate and specific activity were range from 375.96 nGy h-1 to 23675.84 nGy.h-1nGy.h-1 and 765.70 Bq.kg-1 to 354789.84 Bq.kg-1 respectively.
Keywords: Specific activity .dose rate. Annual effective dose
