Radiation survey and decontamination of cape Arza from depleted uranium

In the action of NATO A-10 airplanes in 1999, the cape Arza, Serbia and Montenegro was contaminated by depleted uranium. The clean-up operations were undertaken at the site, and 242 uranium projectiles and their 49 larger fragments were removed from the cape. That is about 85% of the total number of projectiles by which Arza was contaminated. Here are described details of the applied procedures and results of the soil radioactivity measurements after decontamination. U prolece 1999. godine, u napadu NATO aviona tipa A-10, rt Arza je kontaminiran osiromasenim uranijumom. Dekontaminacija rta je sprovedena tokom 2001. i 2002. godine pri cemu su uklonjena 242 uranijumska projektila u celini i 49 vecih fragmenata. To je oko 85% ukupnog broja projektila kojima je Arza bila kontaminirana. U radu su detaljno opisani preduzeti postupci dekontaminacije i rezultati merenja radioaktivnosti tla posle dekontaminacije.
