Abstract
Well defined high natural radiation background areas, undisturbed ore bodies and technologically modified radiation areas have features that are analogous to shallow-land low-level radioactive waste disposal sites. Studies aimed at obtaining correlations between the specific activity of different naturally occurring radionuclides present in these areas, the resulting concentrations in different environmental matrices and exposure occurring from different pathways can offer insights for arriving at suitable radiological criteria for the shallow-land disposal of low-level radioactive wastes. Results of selected measurements that highlight these aspects are presented as obtained from the high background monazite area of Manavalakurichi, Tamilnadu and phosphogypsum waste disposal areas near the Fertilizer and Chemicals Travancore (FACT) at Udyogamandal, Alwaye, Kerala, as part of an on-going study on this subject. (author). 4 refs., 4 tabs., 1 fig.
