This study concerned with internal radiation pollution in cattle via testing cows’ blood samples suffering from cancer tumorsfrom different Iraqi fields. The technique of Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) type CR-39 was used for the estimation Depleted Uranium (DU) concentration in blood samples. Also, the specific activity was estimated in soil samples collected from affected animals' fields by using Gamma-ray Spectrometry technique. The results showed that eyes cancer tumors were recorded more frequently and followed by skin cancers respectively. All blood samples were contaminated with DU in elevated levels. Some samples contained higher concentrations than ever recorded concentration in Iraq before. In addition, elevation in radiation specific activity was recorded in almost the soil samples. As a conclusion: contaminated soils with Depleted Uranium affected cattle grassing there via transmit this type of radiation and inducing cancers.
