    This document summarizes measurements of gamma radiation doses taken at indoor and outdoor laboratories of medicine and engineering faculties at Kufa University in Al-Najaf, Iraq. The measurements were taken using a portable dosimeter and found minimum and maximum mean radiation doses ranged from 19.622 to 69.904 nGy/h indoors and 8.277 to 16.249 nGy/h outdoors. The annual effective radiation doses indoors and outdoors were calculated to be between 4.466 to 0.259 mSv/y, respectively, which is lower than the 1 Sv/y recommended as safe by UNSCEAR.

    Measurement of Gamma Radiation dose for

    selected samples of Kufa University at Al-Najaf


    Governorate, Iraq
    Mohammed haider Al-Taweel, Lubna A. Alasadi

    Abstract— A background radiation dose at indoor and outdoor of medicine and engineering faculties laboratories were calculated
    in Kufa University at Al-Najaf governorate, Iraq. Measurements were obtained using a portable dosimeter survey “Inspector Alert
    model RAP RS1, S.E. international, Inc, USA”. Amount of minimum and maximum mean dose radiation were ranged from
    (19.622 to 69.904nGy/h) and from (8.277 to 16.249nGy/h) respectively. The Annual Effective Dose indoor and outdoor were
    calculated between (4.466 and 0.2S9mSv/y) successively. So, it's found lower than 1 Sv/y, Which is recommended by UNSCEAR
    (2000); therefore, these values are found to be safe.
