Abstract
In this study, the nuclear fission shrapnel technique was used to find the level of uranium at blood of cancer patients in Salah Al-Din Governorate. Average level of uranium at the patient samples ranged between 1.738 ppb to 7.003 ppb (female, 60 years old, from Baije), while results for the healthy group ranged between 0.302 ppb and 2.332ppb. The results showed a significant increase in the level of uranium in blood of cancer patients, compared with level of healthy people.
