Abstract :
In this study, the fission track registration technique with the CR-39 detector are using to determination the uranium concentrations for twenty-eight samples of soil distributed in seven districts in Jalawla a City in Iraq by depth in 5cm. The uranium concentrations in soil samples measured by using fission tracks registration in (CR-39) track detector that caused by the bombardment of (U) with thermal neutrons from (241 Am-Be) neutron source that has flux of (5 ×103 n cm-2 s-1). The concentrations values were calculated by a comparison with standard samples. The results showed that the maximum value of uranium is (1.280 ppm) in Al-Talea district and the minimum is (0.719 ppm) in Al-Uruba district
