In this study, the specific activity of Eu-152 nuclides is measured with the contamination in soil samples at Kasra and Atash, which were taken from Al-Tuwaitha site in Baghdad. Ten samples were collected from different areas in Baghdad for the purpose of the study. The technique of the spectral analysis was used for gamma-ray in order to make the measurements with the use of scintillation detector system NaI(Tl) gamma spectroscopy with 3”×3”. The results show that, specific activity in soil samples under study were ranged from 21.45±0.33 Bq/kg to 96786.84±41.84 Bq/kg with an average 10039.63 Bq/kg. Soil samples are not safe to work in and are dangerous or hazardous to the citizens.
