| Abstract | ||
| Level of radon concentration has been performed in south of Iraq's oil fields, at 72 well. A passive integrating radon discriminative monitor was used in this study. Both LR-115 type II and CR- 39 plastic track detectors have been used for the measurement of radon concentration in the Crude oil samples. The investigation show great variability of radon concentration in each well. The highest value of radon concentration was observed in oil well number (119) in Al-Hammar field 993.4 Bq.m-3 , while the lowest value observed in oil well number (76) in Al-Rafidhya field 195.9 Bq.m-3 .This variation in concentration of radon in the well have been discussed in this study. | ||
