Abstract
Radioactivity monitoring It is one of the basic prerequisites before exporting any food items according to the law of the Sudanese customs authority. Therefore, measurement of anthropogenic and natural radionuclides in some foodstuffs intended for export have been carried out. The measurement was performed using HPGe detector (High- Purity Germanium detectors) which is a type of high-resolution &
