A systematic study of the content and vertical distribution of natural (40K, 210Pb, 224Ra, 226Ra, 232Th, 234Th, 238U) radionuclides in the soil several districts of the Rostov region (Volgodonsk, Azov, Aksay, Tsimljansky, Zimovnikovskogo, Dubovsky and Rodionovo-Nesvetaiskaya) in the period 2000-2011 years are performed. Radionuclide instrumental soil composition was determined by gamma spectrometry using standard techniques and selection of preparing soil samples for measurement. Found that in most cases the total radionuclide content corresponds to the natural level and is characteristic of the region’s soil research. The distribution of natural radionuclides in the soil, mostly uniform. The maximum concentration of radionuclides of the uranium series recorded in chernozems and chestnut soils, the minimum - in alluvial soils.
