摘要：In this paper, the authors aims to introduce Uranium contamination in Al Tuwaitha nuclear site using
Geomatics techniques. The contamination level of Uranium (235, 238, 234 )
, from different soil samples
of the nuclear reactor surrounding areas has investigated and compared to the international standards of
UNSCEAR 2000,. The results show that distribution indicates a relatively asymmetrical distribution tailing
slightly towards higher concentration. However, the activity level of Uranium in the soil samples exhibits
higher variability. U238, 235,234 concentration level exceed the permitted level by (75) times over the
UNSCEAR (2000) regulation in spot near Ishtar village and many other uranium contamination inside Al
Tuwaitha nuclear research center, location C and Ishtar village. The contaminated area above normal
concentration of U sum in soil having about 65% from total contaminated area (0.87 km2) between (0.08-
0.2) Bq/g, 23% between (0.2-0.4) Bq/g, 6% between (0.4-0.7) Bq/g, 5% between (0.7- 2.5) Bq/g and 1%
between (2.5-4.5) Bq/g as the highest concentration level.
