RADON SURVEY AT THE KOONGARRA URANIUM DEPOSIT NORTHERN TERRITORY

摘要

Surface radon emanation rates were measured over undisturbed sections of the ore body to provide an estimate of the daily rate of radon release from the ore body;this estimate was then compared with the value expected from an above-ground tailings dam constructed as a result of mining of the ore body.nSurface radon emanation rates were also measured for small mock neaps designed to be representative of waste rock and ore stockpile material.
