Abstract
Surface structures for samples contaminated with Depleted Uranium (DP) have been studied by microscopical examination and radioactive level measurements. The samples were collected from various locations within Basra Govern rate as soil and Minerals samples. The area of Basra has been divided into three regions (A, B and C). The region (A) involves 7 locations while region (B) involves 11 locations and region (C) involves 9 locations.
The microscopical examinations were carried out by using OLYMPUS Optical Microscope while LB 1200 and Gamma Counter Multichanel Analyzer instruments were used for measurements the radioactive levels.
Examination results confirmed that the collected samples are contaminated with (DP) in different levels. It was found that the highest level of radioactive collected samples from the south of Basra was 18-10 mRm/h and 5-10 mm/h at the Center of Basra. The isotopes of Uranium of Th234 Ra226 and Bite with values of 8.7, 5.1 and 3.2 Bq/Kg respectively were measured from these samples

Abstract
درست التراكيب السطحيةsurface structure لنماذج ملوثة بمادة اليورانيوم المنضب Depleted Uranium ( DU ) وذلك باجراء الفحوصات المجهرية وقياس مستوى التلوث الاشعاعي على نماذج من قطع معدنية واخرى ترابية اخذت من مواقع مختلفة من محافظة البصرة وعند الحدود الجنوبية للمحافظة حيث شهدت هذه المناطق عمليات عسكرية. اجريت الفحوصات ما بين عامي 2001 و 2005 على ثلاث مناطق من البصرة (A) و(B) و (C) تشمل مركز المدينة و الاطراف ومع حدود الدول المجاورة لجنوب البصرة حيث تم تسجيل 7 مواقع للمنطقة (A) و 11 موقعا" للمنطقة (B) و 9 مواقع للمنطقة (C) اضافة الى قطع معدنية من الفولاذ والالمنيوم ماخوذة من اجزاء أليات مدمرة بفعل هذه العمليات.
