The present study aims to measure the natural radioactivity of background radiation (dose rate) and gamma ray emitters (uranium U238, thorium Th232, and potassium K40) in soil samples collected from Al-Musayyab district in Babil province. 10 soil and rock samples were collected from different areas of Al-Musayyab district at a depth of 10 cm using a multi-channel gamma ray spectrometer (3×3).. The results showed (U238, Th232, K40) and radium equivalent, absorbed dose, gamma rays, and internal and external hazard coefficients. The results were plotted and distributed using the GIS technology (Arc Gls. 10.71) in order to lay the foundation for a more comprehensive study, aiming to draw geological maps of the area and characterize Natural radiation levels in other environments .
