Twenty-five surface (0-20 cm) soil samples were collected from different locations in Egypt representing non-polluted, moderately and highly polluted soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate total Co content in alluvial soils of delta in Egypt using the delayed neturen activation analysis technique. The two prominent gamma ray lines at 1173.2 and 1332.5 keV was efficiently used for 60Co determination.
