Radon Emanation as a Source of Radiation Hazard to the Environment: The Case of the Ukrainian Shield

Abstract: The article examines uranium ore manifestations, mining and associated radon emanation potential from the point of view of radiation hazard to the environment in the region of the Ukrainian Shield and its slopes, namely within the Central Ukrainian Uranium Province. The maximum amount of radon is established in the geodynamically active zones in overlapping rocks associated with new tectonic anomalies in parent rocks. Most hazardous are areas where new tectonic activation zones and uranium ore manifestations o… Show more

“…Among these three deposits, the ores of the Vatutinske deposit are characterized by a sharply increased content of Ra, Th, Pb, Po, and U, while the Central deposit is turned out to have the lowest content of those elements. These significant differences in the ores' chemical composition can serve as one of the important identification (characteristic) signs [16,17].…”
