The objective of this study is to determine the distribution of natural radionuclides in surface soils in the Karscity center, Turkey. The activity concentrations of 238U, 232 Th, 40 K and 137Cs in 38 soil samples collected from the study area were measured through NaI(Tl) gamma spectrometry. The average activities of the samples were determined to be 47.8, 31.2 and 536 Bqkg-1 for the natural radionuclides 226Ra (238U), 232Th, 40K, respectively, and 18 Bqkg-1 for the fission product 137Cs. When the present results are compared with the data available for other cities in Turkey, the soil radioactivity concentrations obtained in this study indicate that the region has a background radiation level within natural limits but the measured average activity of 40K depending on soil texture is slightly higher than the other parts of country
