Assessment of the total effective dose of miners in the underground Rožná uranium mine in the Czech Republic during the period 2004-2009
Original language description
The paper discusses the situation in the Czech Republic regarding past and present uranium mining with emphasis on the evaluation of the exposure of underground miners in the Rožná Uranium Mine, which is currently the only active mine in the country andpractically in the entire European Union. The total effective dose has been summarized taking into account all three major components, namely radon short-lived decay products, long-lived alpha emitters in ore dust and penetrating external gamma radiation. The average and maximum values of the effective dose as well as the collective effective dose of underground miners are also presented. The purpose of the paper is to document the miner's exposures during a period of 6 years in a uranium mine where conditions including the ore grade and methods of mining showed recently somechanges that may affect the individual components of the total effective dose.
