Gamma radiation surveys around uranium mill tailing piles
Description
Wind and water erosion of uranium mill tailings over large areas have been observed at both active and inactive uranium mill sites. A technique for assessing the γ activity of off-pile tailings is described. Any suitable instrumentation, other than those described in the report, may be used if properly calibrated. Knowledge of the extent of eroded tailings is necessary to check stabilization effectiveness and to document or identify potential exposures as well as for present and future compliance purposes
