Abstract

Transfer of210Pb and210Po from an uranium mine and mill to the environment was studied by measuring their concentrations in different stages of uranium extraction technology, in waste products from the mill and in environmental waters. A slightly modified radiochemical method was used for210Po and210Pb determination.
