Abstract

Tailings arising from uranium mining and milling facilities at Jaduguda contain all the radionuclides other than uranium isotopes present in the ore. Coarse fraction of the tailings is sent for backfilling to the mines whereas fines are impounded in a repository called tailings pond. Measurements are made regularly to evaluate radiological impact of these impounded tailings on Jaduguda environment. The study shows that the increase in environmental radiation is marginal. Typical results of recent measurements are presented. (author). 2 refs., 4 tabs.
