The Unidade de Tratamento de Minérios (UTM, Ore Treatment Facility) was the first uranium ore mining and ore production site to operate in Brazil. Twenty years after ceasing operations, the site is going through an environmental restoration and decommissioning process, which is to be conducted by the operator and regulated by the national nuclear and environmental authorities. The UTM case can...

ABSTRACT:
From the need for Cuba to have a facility for long term storage of radioactive waste, the study of the conditions of the existing waste storage for short and medium life was performed. A methodology that included site characterization (including geological, hydrogeological, socio-economics), safety assessment and evaluation of the state of construction of the facility was used...

The present paper summarizes the findings of studies carried out in the gold mining, uranium and thorium bearing regions of Cameroon. It also underlines future prospects to strengthen the radiological protection of members of the public exposed to environmental natural radiation in Cameroon. After soil and foodstuff sampling, α- and γ- spectrometry were used to determine activity...

In Eastern Germany uranium mining lasted from 1945 until 1990 leaving enormous environmental impacts. From 1951 to 1990 the former Soviet-German WISMUT company produced a total of about 216,000 t of uranium, mainly in two large mills located near Seelingstädt (Thuringia) and Crossen (Saxony). Nearby the former Seelingstädt mill tailings dams were erected in mined-out open pits for separate...

Abstract
Because of economical reason, the operation of Phosphoric Acid Purification Facility-PT Petrokimia Gresik was stopped on 12 August 1989. In June 2000 BAPETEN (Indonesian Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency) recommended that PT. Petrokimia Gresik apply for decommissioning permit to BAPETEN as soon as possible. BAPETEN had issued the dismantling permit on 2 April 2008. Some...
