Studying the gamma-background and rock samples taken in the Geghanush tailings of the Kapan mining and processing combine, open pit of the Zangezur copper-molybdenum combine and Artsvanik tailings

The results of the study of the gamma background in the vicinity of the Geghanush and Artsvanik tailings operated by the Kapan Mining and Processing and Zangezur Copper- Molybdenum Combines, and the open pit of the Zangezur Copper-Molybdenum Combine are introduced. The results of gamma-spectrometric analyses of rock samples taken from the open pit of the Zangezur Copper-Molybdenum Combine are presented. The measurement of the γ-background was carried out using the SPARCS-M1 system. The radiation-ecological study with the assessment of the gamma background of the above-named territories was carried out in accordance with the agreements signed by National Polytechnic University of Armenia and "Biogeotech" LLC
