Abstract

Radiometric surveys of mining dumps on spent placers of gold, monazite and the exploited gold-uranium ore deposit in South Yakutia were carried out. It is established that the dumps of alluvial, overburden and waste rocks in terms of the effective specific activity of radionuclides when used in construction work are characterized by different degrees of tolerance. It is shown that stacked radioactive ore dumps at the “Lunnoye” deposit after heap leaching of gold become powerful uncontrolled sources of radioactive pollution of the environment. It is recommended to conduct periodic monitoring of their radioactivity levels by express methods of field radiometry for the safe use of mining dumps as building materials.
