Abstract: The study was undertaken to assess the level of radiation on yam and cassava in two selected council wards in Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State-Nigeria. A total of twenty (20) samples for both yam and cassava were selected from each settlement in the two selected council ward in the local government area. The samples were examined for radiation level using Radiation Alert meter. The radiation level ranges from 0.039 to 0.018μSv/hr for yam samples. The annual dose estimated for yam intake in the two selected council wards were above the recommended limit of 1.00 μSv/hr by USNRC in some sample locations (AD1, AD5, AG3 AG4 and AG5) and below, in other locations (AD2, AD3, AD4, AG1 and AG2) whereas, radiation and dose level on cassava at the sample locations ranges from 0.017 to 0.199 μSv/hr. The annual dose estimated for cassava intake was below the recommended limit of 1.00(mSv/hr) USNRC in all the sample locations except in AD1 which was above the recommended limit.
