Description
Abstract: A vast legacy of radium and uranium production in Portugal is described. By 2005 the conclusions of a radiation risk assessment carried out at uranium legacy sites concluded that enhanced exposure existed in some areas and recommended environmental remediation action. A remediation program was approved, funded and it is implemented since. An overview of results achieved in 10 years is presented.
