Research Status and Influencing Factors for the Radon Emanation of Uranium Tailings Impoundment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influencing factors on radon emanation rate of uranium tailings storehouse, migration mechanism, theoretical research of the radon emanation and research status of radonmetry were introduced. Reasonable measurement, network, sampling time and measuring times are very necessary to the measurement of radon emanation rate of uranium tailings. Combining numerical simulation, physical experiment simulation and field test, put forward reasonable management standards for decommissioning uranium tailings.
