DETERMINATION OF URANIUM CONCENTRATION IN HUMAN BLOOD SAMPLES IN SOME GOVERNORATES OF IRAQ BY USINGCR-39 TRACE DETECTOR
This study includes measurement of uranium concentration and calculates the specific activity in human blood samples (leukemia and health people) taken from some governorates of Iraq by using fission fragment track technique.The nuclear reaction used as source of uranium fission fragment is U-235 (n, f), obtained by the bombardment of U-235 with thermal neutrons from (Am- Be) source which has a flux of (5 x 103 n.cm-2.
