Abstract
Three radionuclide ( 238U,232Th and 40K) were calculated in 19 food samples by a gamma ray detector for the Rumaila area , north of Basra governorate, southern Iraq. The highest activity value of 238U is 2.031± 0.522 Bq/Kg in Eggplant , of 232Th in Jew's mallow is 10.502 ± 0.907 Bq/Kg and of 40K in Jew's mallow is 697.279 ± 21.100 Bq/Kg, the least activity value of 238U is 0.058 ± 0.030 Bq/Kg in cowpeas, of 232Th is 0.032 ± 0.032 Bq/Kg in orange, and of 40K is 6.896 ± 1.625 Bq/Kg in Fish
