Abstract
The research aims to measure the uranium concentration of soil samples collected from different regions are located around the nuclear research center at Tuwaitha to a contamination ratio statement of these regions, which include agricultural residential regions as well as being the regions for livestock of all kinds. The nuclear track detector (CR-39) was used as a method to detect uranium of through calculations depended on comparison with standard samples. Results indicate that the uranium concentration ranged between (0.4ppm) and (2.538 ppm), these results are within allowed limit that equals (11.7 ppm).
