In the present work, the specific activity of different types of milk powder samples from various foreign origins in the local markets was studied. For this purpose, (HPGe) detector was used. The results showed that Miedo sample (Jordanian origin) had the highest quantities of A U , A Th and A k equal to respectively (18.690, 25.070 and 183.500) Bq/kg respectively. All the specific activity and parameters are less than their corresponding allowed limits, and hence no health risk they possess.
