Behaviour and fluxes of natural radionuclides in the production process of a phosphoric acid plant

Abstract In recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the occupational and public hazards of the radiological impact of non-nuclear industries which process materials containing naturally occurring radionuclides. These include the industries devoted to the production of phosphoric acid by treating sedimentary phosphate rocks enriched in radionuclides from the uranium series. With the Read more about Behaviour and fluxes of natural radionuclides in the production process of a phosphoric acid plant[…]

An assay on the effect of preliminary restoration tasks applied to a large TENORM wastes disposal in the south-west of Spain

Abstract A large industrial wastes disposal site, where two phosphate rock processing plants release their wastes, located close to Huelva town (SW of Spain), has been partially submitted to restoration as a preliminary step in a possible decomissioning process. Due to the high natural radioactivity contents of these wastes, this repository is considered as a Read more about An assay on the effect of preliminary restoration tasks applied to a large TENORM wastes disposal in the south-west of Spain[…]
