Description

The uranium-riched region(Geosan) was carefully monitored for two years and the monitoring data were analyzed to estimate the environmental radiation dose to the inhabitants. The exposure pathways were defined and effective doses were calculated using monitoring data. The radon inhalation is the most important pathway to the population. Except the radon inhalation dose, the environmental dose to inhabitants living in the uranium-riched region is not so different from those of average level of Korea
