Radon-prone Areas: the Ukrainian Shield case study

摘要

The approach towards "radon-prone areas" is emphasized according to the European Basic Safety Standards requirements. Central Ukrainian Uranium Province is considered from the point of uranium geology and mining and radon-prone area view, where surveys indicate that the percentage of houses expected to exceed national reference levels is higher than in other parts of the country. The maximum amount of radon is established in the geodynamically active zones in overlapping rocks associated with new tectonic anomalies in parent rocks. The most hazardous are areas where new tectonic activation zones and uranium ore manifestations are met relatively close to the surface.
