Assessment of the radiological situation in different areas affected by uranium mining and uranium processing in the Czech Republic

This study presents measurements of activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in selected water and soil samples taken from areas affected by the uranium industry in the surroundings of Pribram, Straž pod Ralskem and Mydlovary, Czech Republic. In these areas, the dose equivalent rate...
