Abstract (EN): This paper describes an application of the radionuclides transport model in surface waters. The generic approach was based on the IAEA models used in assessing the impact of discharges of radioactive substances into the environment. The radionuclides discharge into a river was considered for applying the model to a specific case study. The model simulation was done for the discharge of an effluent with a high radium concentration into a watercourse. Several exposure points were considered along this watercourse strategically defined by the measured data. Several exposure points were considered along this watercourse strategically defined by the measured data. Radium concentration was estimated for these points to determine the relation between the diluted concentration and the distance to the discharge location. The concentration in the river sediments was also estimated for the same exposure points.

Notas: The New Uranium Mining Boom Springer Geology, 2012, Part 1, 91-100, DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-22122-4_11 There is no other book about Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology. Shows the state of the art techniques Wellknown expert in this field. The book presents the results from the Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology Conference (UMH VI) held in September 2011, in Freiberg, Germany. The following subjects are dealt with in depth: uranium mining, phosphate mining and uranium recovery. Cleaning up technologies for water and soil are also discussed at length. Analystics and sensors for uranium and radon and modelling round up this comprehensive volume. https://www.authenticus.pt/en/publications/view/558191 AuthID: P-00H-13F
