In this study 145 sites were modeled for the purpose samples of studying the activity concentrations of naturally occurring 40K, 238U, and 232Th radionuclides and its effect on the population of the selected areas within the study area the probability cancer risk is the main objective of the study absorbed gamma dose rate (DR), annual effective dose, gamma annual gonadal dose (AGDE). The activity concentration 238U, 232Th and 40K radionuclides are within the ranges The concentrations of uranium in the studied area extend (37.091 ± 3.634 to 0.081 ± 0.0008) Bq/kg in soil of Babylon, from (27.913 ± 0.871 to 0.027 ± 0.023) Bq/kg in soil of Najaf, from (109.940 ± 1.730 to 2.478 ± 0.259) Bq/kg in rocks of Najaf, from (37.363 ± 0.700 to 0.190 ± 0.023) Bq/kg in Qadissiya finally from (37.962 ± 0.962 to 0.027 ± 0.233)..
