Objective
The project aims at investigating industrial dumps resulting from the use of radioactive coal and from aluminium industry for assessing methods for the efficient treatement of these wastes and the recycled material taking into account the risk for populati on and for environment. It will consider the direct risk resulting from the wastes in their immediate neighbourhood, the risk from dispersal in the environment particulary through surface and groundwater. It will in particular consider the environmental a nd the health risk of industrial by-products that are based on the waste material. The project will consider several test sites located in the Western Balkan countries and compare them with sites located in the EU or outside: wastes of coal mines and coal burning power plants, as well as from aluminium industry. It will proceed by the investigation of selected occurences for: -assessing the presence and type of radionuclides in the primary and wastes products, and their parameters -analysing and identi fying the pathways for dispersion of radionuclides (erosion, dust re-suspension, surface water, groundwater) in the neighbourhood of the wastes, and defining the impact of the wastes on the ecosystem. -assesing the impact on health of the population i n the plants and in the vicinity of the wastes from the presence of radionuclides (gas-emission, inhalation) -defining the risk from the use of by-products of the wastes (building material that contais fly ash, disposal in engineered surface impoundement s and landfills, industrial product based on waste material). Based on the results of these case studies, the project will: -examine the radiation protection management and the monitoring practice for the investigated test-sites, -it will develop recom mendations for each type of tailing dump in order to optimise the existing protection and remediation practice -it will promote the adoption of existing legislation and regulations in the
