The College of Education for Pure Sciences in the Department of Physics researched a master's thesis on measuring uranium concentrations in soil samples south of Maysan Governorate using two techniques: inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and nuclear trace detector. The thesis presented by the researcher (Hawra Jawad Jassim) included this study, which is measuring natural uranium concentrations in different areas of Maysan Governorate soil, where seventy-five soil samples from the surface soil were examined at a depth of five to fifteen centimeters. Natural uranium concentrations were determined in this study using two techniques: the first is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and the second is solid-state nuclear trace detectors using a nuclear trace detector (plastic trace detector) by recording the effects of fission fragments resulting from the reaction of uranium concentrations with a number of two hundred and thirty-five by bombarding the samples with weak neutrons. With a neutron flux of two integers and three tenths multiplied by ten to the fifth power of Newtons divided by two centimeters squared per second, the concentrations of natural uranium were calculated based on the uranium flux of standard models, where the highest concentration of natural uranium was in the Adl area, where it reached one integer and ninety-nine percent parts per million using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry technique, and the lowest value of uranium concentration was five integers parts per million in the Sayed Ahmed Al-Rifai area. As for using the solid state nuclear trace counting detectors technique, the highest concentration of uranium was two integers and five percent plus minus forty-two percent parts per million in the Adl area, and the lowest value of uranium concentration was in the Sayed Ahmed Al-Rifai area, where it reached seventy-seven percent plus minus sixteen percent parts per million. Through the results extracted in the study, it was clear that the level of uranium concentrations remained within the permissible limits, as recommended by the United Nations Scientific Committee, eleven integers and seven tenths parts per million
