Description

Separation of uranium from ores in combination with long-lived 226Ra and 230Th with their following transmutation was suggested for achievement of radiation equivalence. The availability or absence radium and/or thorium separation together with uranium significantly affect on potential biological hazard of native uranium. When penetration of radionuclides in body of man by means of water of food the relationship of potential biological hazard for variants of radium and thorium separation or without separation ranges up to 40

Abstract (Russian)

Для достижения радиационной эквивалентности предложено ввести совместное с ураном извлечение из руд долгоживущих 226Ra и 230Th с их последующей трансмутацией. Наличие или отсутствие извлечения радия и/или тория вместе с ураном сильно влияет на потенциальную биологическую опасность природного урана. При попадании радионуклидов в организм человека с водой или пищевыми продуктами отношение потенциальной биологической опасности для вариантов с извлеченим радия и тория или без него достигает 40
