    Abstract: In this research the specific activity of natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were determined by sodium iodide enhanced by thallium NaI (Tl) detector and assessed the annual effective dose in Beladi, Aldar, Alusraa, Alkhaleej and Aletehaad which are available in Baghdad markets. The specific activity of 40K has the greater value in all the t... Show More

    Abstract: The characteristics of the flow in vertical slot fishway depend mainly on the specific pool design, such as the geometry of the pool. We present the results of a study on comparison between four different designs of vertical slot fishways. The results indicated that central baffle cannot cut down the value of the velocity substantially, but it can ... Show More
