Contamination of roads in Klatovy by natural radionuclides from waste rock dumps of the former uranium mine Ustalec

  • 1. Institute of Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Mineral Resources, Charles Universitv, Prague (Czech Republic)

Description

Contamination by natural radioisotopes was detected in the road network of the town Klatovy (Czech Republic). The extent and distribution of the contamination were studied using automobile and portable gamma ray spectrometers. Samples of the roadway were taken for a mineralogical and petrological study at two localities. Processes of re-distribution of uranium in the road and its surroundings were studied. (author)
