Control of Radon Flux of an Inactive Uranium Mill Facility in Spain

As part of a contract with ENRESA (National Radioactive Waste Company S.A. is a Spanish public company responsible for the management of radioactive waste), after the closure of the uranium mill factory in Andújar, Spain, continuous measurements of the radon flux have been carried out on an annual basis using activated carbon detectors following a methodology established in our laboratory (ISO 11665-7, 2012). The results obtained and their usefulness are presented from the point of view of control of the closure conditions established by the competent authority in order to minimize the impact of the site on the environment.
