Radiation monitoring in mining

The tasks and organization of radiation monitoring under the conditions of the uranium mines are considered. Main radiation hazard in uranium mines represent contamination of mine atmosphere with short - living daughter products of radon decay (DRP), external γ-irradiation of personnel and concentrations of long-living α-emitters in mine atmosphere. The following interconnected tasks of radiation monitoring under the mine conditions are pointed out: environmental radiation monitoring at enterprises, personnel monitoring and counting estimation of environmental radiation at the enterprise and determination of necessary measures to decrease the personnel irradiation levels. Organization of monitoring of mine atmosphere contamination and individual DRP intake, monitoring of parameters affecting the environmental radiation monitoring of external γ-irradiation and contamination of mine atmosphere with long-living radioactive aerosols are considered in detail. The problem of radiation monitoring data registration and representation is studied
