Abstract
Um Taghir area is restricted along a shear zone of the Qena-Safaga road, actually it belongs to the Central Eastern Desert that represents one of the most important occurrences of radioactive elements in Egypt. The current study aims to calculate the content of the radioactive elements of the investigated granitic rocks by radiative methods for the geochemical analyses, are determined by (X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average concentrations values of 226Ra, 232 Th are lower than that of world's average and the average activities in Egyptian soil. While in 40K series is higher than that of world's average and the average activities in Egyptian soil. The range of measured activities differed widely as their presence in rocks samples depends on their physical, chemical and geo-chemical properties and the pertinent environment.
