Pages : 156
Book Description
The present report provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the subject and supersedes Technical Reports Series No. 209, Current Practices and Options for Confinement of Uranium Mill Tailings, published in 1981. The present worldwide production of uranium mill tailings exceeds 20 million tonnes annually. lt is therefore essential that the environmental and health risks from these materials are reduced to an acceptable level. This report highlights new technological developments in this field as well as operational and managerial experience arising from the application of these methods.
Occupational Radiation Protection in the Uranium Mining and Processing Industry

Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This Safety Report has been developed as part of the IAEA programme on occupational radiation protection to provide for the application of its safety standards in implementing a graded approach to the protection of workers against exposures associated with uranium mining and processing. The publication describes the methods of production associated with the uranium industry and provides practical information on the radiological risks to workers in the exploration, mining and processing of uranium. It is a compilation of detailed information on uranium mining and processing stages and techniques, general radiation protection considerations in the relevant industry, general methodology applicable for control, monitoring and dose assessment, exposure pathways, and radiation protection programs for the range of commonly used mining and processing techniques.

Book Description
Radioactive Waste Management Hazardous Waste Management Gaynor W. Dawson and Basil W. Mercer This book addresses major technical areas associated with the safe management of hazardous waste, and covers a broad spectrum of environmental, engineering, and administrative concerns. Topics discussed include regulations governing hazardous waste management, defining and quantifying hazardous wastes, facility siting, abandoned disposal sites, transportation, treatment processes, incineration, and ocean dumping. 1986 0 471-82268-X 532 pp. Hazardous and Toxic Materials Safe Handling and Disposal, 2nd Edition Edited by Howard H. Fawcett In this second edition, thirteen experts offer their views, research, and latest findings on a wide range of topical issues, including the Toxic Substances Control Act, SARA, long-term toxicity, the Delaware River pollution problem, medical care and surveillance for hazardous waste works, oil spills, aqueous foams, remediation of contaminated sites, facility siting, and safe transport of dangerous goods. This book contains new and updated data, laws, and considerations necessary for the continued upkeep of the industry’s safety standards. 1988 0 471-62729-1 514 pp. Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration Louis Theodore and Joseph Reynolds This invaluable reference/text is divided into four parts covering the basic concepts, principles, equipment, and applications pertaining to hazardous waste incineration. The authors have generously supplemented the text with over 70 illustrative examples, ranging from trial burn procedures to incineration applications. Readers will find these examples helpful in understanding the procedures, equations, tables, and graphs presented throughout the text. 1987 0 471-84976-6 463 pp.
Evaluation of Guidelines for Exposures to Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309062977
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Naturally occurring radionuclides are found throughout the earth's crust, and they form part of the natural background of radiation to which all humans are exposed. Many human activities-such as mining and milling of ores, extraction of petroleum products, use of groundwater for domestic purposes, and living in houses-alter the natural background of radiation either by moving naturally occurring radionuclides from inaccessible locations to locations where humans are present or by concentrating the radionuclides in the exposure environment. Such alterations of the natural environment can increase, sometimes substantially, radiation exposures of the public. Exposures of the public to naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) that result from human activities that alter the natural environment can be subjected to regulatory control, at least to some degree. The regulation of public exposures to such technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory and advisory organizations is the subject of this study by the National Research Council's Committee on the Evaluation of EPA Guidelines for Exposures to Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials.

Author: The Long Term Stabilization of Uranium Mill Tailings
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Summarizes the current state of the art of uranium mill tailings disposal and the results from an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on technologies and strategies for their long term stabilization. The aim of the CRP was to develop conceptual and technical solutions that render tailings more inert over prolonged time spans.
