Purpose. Improving environmental safety in the zone of influence of uranium production based on an assessment of its impact on the environment and population, the development and implementation of engineering solutions and measures aimed at reducing the impact of radiation and other polluting factors. Metodology. Radiometric measurements of exposure dose and γ-radiation intensity, measurements of γ and β-radioactivity, γ-radiation exposure dose rate, determination of the γ-absorbed dose rate in the air, analysis of the results, statistical and mathematical methods of research using integrated systems approaches according to standard and new methods Findings. It is shown that the improvement of the environmental situation at the sites of mountain sites is achieved through the implementation of planning activities that include: organizing storm sewers to collect surface and filtered water through the dumps, and feed them to the mine water treatment plant; isolation of the surface of the dumps by the soil and vegetative layer, which prevents dust emission and migration of radionuclides from the effects of precipitation; recultivation of contaminated with radionuclides in the process of production activities of local areas with a total area of 20 thousand square meters. Originality. Rehabilitation measures to minimize negative effects on the environment and human health from the effects of radiation and other factors have been scientifically substantiated, developed and implemented. The proposed SPZ of uranium mining and processing enterprises, as well as dumps and dry beachesplanting tailings with forest, trees and shrubs, which will significantly reduce the transfer of radioactive substances outside the production areas. Practical value. It is proposed to monitor the environment, the radiation situation in human settlements by means of instruments and automated systems of the new generation. Keywords: environmental safety, population, uranium mining regions, environmental protection measures. |
