The present work is concerned with the measurements of uranium concentrations in fourty nine surface soils samples from selected locations (some of them were measured for the first time as far as authors know) in Al-Diwaniyah governorate by using ICP-Mass (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) was found to be ranging from 2.78 ppm in (Al-shamr 2) to 7.99 ppm in(Al-shawfa) in soils. The results are presented and compared with other studies. The measurements of uranium concentration of soils samples measured had a uranium content of less than 100 ppm, a concentration that characterizes overburden and tailings quality, rather than minable reserves. This paper presents and evaluates the concentration of uranium in Al-Diwaniya Governorates. The study further reveals that 49 surface soil samples have uranium below detection limit. The present results have shown that the uranium concentrations in the studied surface soils samples were less than the allowed value (11.7 ppm) recommended by UNSCEAR, 1993.

Boron is none uniformly distributed, ubiquitous essential micronutrient element for the plant as well as human beings. The aim of this study is to measure the Boron, 10 B 5 , concentration in water in Al-Diwaniya governorate (in Iraq). The measurements were performed by analyzing the water samples collected from 24 location using ICP/OES technique. The Boron concentration which is obtained ranged from 0.45ppm in (Al-dighara 4) to1.87ppm in (alhamza 6) in water. The present results are compared with other studies. The results could be utilized to make distinctive supplementary contributions when contamination event occurs and to implement water quality standards by concerned authorities to maintain radioactive contamination-free water samples which are needing for the people. The study further reveals that 24 surface water samples have boron more than detection limit.

The present work is concerned with the measurements of uranium concentrations infourty nine surface soils samples from selected locations (some of them were measured for the first time as far as authors know) in Al-Diwaniyah governorate by using uranium fission fragment U-235 (n-f), obtained by the bombardment of U-235 with thermal neutrons. The results have shown that, the highest uranium concentration in surface soils samples in the selected regions in Al-Diwaniyah governorate was found in (Al-sdeer) region , which was equal to (8.86±0.89 ppm), while the lowest uranium concentration was found in (Al-shamr 2) region which was equal to (2.50±0.92 ppm) The present results have show that the uranium concentrations in the studied surface soils samples were less than the allowed value (11.7 ppm) recommended by UNSCEAR, 1993.

Boron is not uniformly dispersed, ubiquitous crucial micronutrient component for vegetation as well as for man. The aim of this research is to measure Boron, 10B5, concentration in the water of the wells in Al- Diwaniya governorate in Iraq. The measurements done through analysing the soil samples of wells collected from 30 different locations using ICP/OES Techniques. The Boron concentration, which is obtained from the study, ranged from 0.64 ppm in (Eastern Hamza 4) to 3.81ppm in (Alsuniya 2) in water wells. The findings of the study are introduced and compared with other papers. The findings could be employed to introduce unique supplemental contributions in case a contamination incident happens and to achieve wells water quality standards by related entities to preserve radioactive contamination-free water wells samples, whic are needing for the people. More further, the study discovered that 30 samples of the surface water wells had boron more than detected levels. It is because the higher leaching of boron through monsoon rains from surface water wells beyond the root level. Therefore, in the close future, there will be probability of acute contamination problem with boron.
