Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this work to calculate the counting efficiency of NaI(Tl) 2 × 2 well-shaped scintillation detector (Canberra Inc.). The advantage of this type detector its high efficiency which used to determination the low level of radiation as natural occurring radioactive material (NORM). The gamma attenuation coefficients of natural radioisotopes and its daughters were calculated to find the three components of counting efficiency. The values of the gamma attenuation coefficients and the counting efficiencies are presented in tables and plotted the graph.
