摘要
Tailings of ore mining as well as natural soils and rocks contain natural radionuclides which contribute to the radiation exposure of man. Simple algorithms are not applicable for estimating the radiation exposure because the sources are spatially extended with more or less complicated geometry. The radiation exposure was, therefore, computed using the MONTE CARLO program AMOS developed at the Institute of Radiation Protection Physics. Results for the radiation exposure are shown for individuals staying on contaminated soils, dumps and in valleys between dumps as well as at activities in show-minings.
