Concept of a Surface Water Monitoring at the Former Uranium Mining Site Schlema-Alberoda

  • Chapter
Uranium in the Environment

Abstract

After the remediation works at the Schlema-Alberoda Mining Site the existing water monitoring has to be modified. The monitoring has to focus on the main contaminated streams. The separation of contaminated and not contaminated streams an their distribution in surface respectively underground portions allows the determination of the real transported load of radioactive and toxic compounds. The principle of load determination is the more suitable concept in the assessment of discharges like in industry and waste water treatment (EU).
