The study of the radiological background calculation, by characterizing the radio nuclides and calculating their specific efficacy in the environment of the city of Fallujah (water and surface soil), using the nuclear impact detector technique in the case. Seven samples of water were collected using the system (GBS ). Determine the concentration of uranium accounts based on comparison with standard models were used detector nuclear impact (CR-39) as a method for the detection of uranium in soil samples for study. The specific efficacy rate of the radon-222 antibody was very close to that of other studies. Knowing the level of natural and industrial radioactivity in the environment of the city of Fallujah using appropriate and different nuclear analysis methods and comparing the results of the measurements with the radiation ackground, which was previously studied and proved to be a radiation background. The results of radioactive material from the soil and water samples record the highest rate of uranium concentration in comparison with the standards reference of (ICRP) (International Commission Radiation Protection. The highest of background radiations of those regions were suffering of military operations. The total mean dose rate of the surveyed areas is found to be roughly thrice that of the world average, and found to be higher than that of other places compared with except. The Results of Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD) measurements of natural radioactivity using contact autoradiography for the determination of uranium and non-contact autoradiography for radon emanation are presented.
