Assurance of normally happening radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in soil and vegetable samples were resolved from tests gathered from Zuway (Batu) area, Ethiopia. The territory where the agriculture industry discharges synthetic to the lake and this water can be utilized by farmers for water system reason and the means to investigate the degree of common radioactivity in soil and vegetables and its transfer from soil to vegetables by using a sodium iodide NaI(TI) detectors. The activity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in soil tests were 109.06±0.027 to 157.88±0.025Bq kg/1 (normal =131.64Bkg/1), 9.03±0.009 to 14.49±0.006 Bqkg/1 (normal =10.4 Bqkg/1) and 14.55±0.004 to 34.98±0.017Bq kg/1 (normal =26.44Bqkg/1), individually. In vegetable samples (onion and cabbage) from similar areas, the radioactivity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were 76.7±0.025 to 183.45±0.025Bq kg–1 (normal =143.39Bq kg–1), 17.7±0.008 to 33.95±0.006 Bq kg–1 (normal = 24.58Bq kg–1) and 18.66±0.059 to 58.5±0.022Bq kg–1 (normal =33.97Bq kg–1), and 13.4±0.31 to 110.1±0.05Bq kg–1 (normal =88.8Bq kg–1), 18.66±0.01 to 60.25±0.005Bq kg–1 (normal = 38.63Bq kg–1) and 8.3±0.032 to 61.6±0.027Bq kg–1 (normal =38.54Bq kg–1), individually. No 137Cs radionuclide was identified in any of the samples from this territory. The deliberate estimations of DR, Raeq, Hex, and Hin are similar to the worldwide midpoints and the qualities are beneath the breaking point. The transfer components of radionuclides in all samples were above solidarity. In this manner, the investigation zone spares the neighborhood network.
