A.A.Qaribov, B.A.Suleymanov, A.C.Mikailova

The article  examined  the distribution of uranium series isotopic ratios natural radionuclides in water samples taken from Upper  Karabakh and Upper Shirvan canals  and aquifers (artesian well) in central regions of Azerbaijan. Quantity of radionuclides (Ra – 226, Ra-228, K – 40,  Cs – 137) in water samples is determined by gamma-spectrometric methods.

Keywords:  radionuclides, qamma-spectrometr, water samples.
