An extensive study was conducted to determine the activity concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclides 226 Ra, 232 Th, 40 K, and 137 Cs in soil samples of each governate of Jordan. A total of 370 samples have been measured using a high-purity germanium detector. The activity concentration...
