RADIATION CONTROL OF SECONDARY TECHNOGENIC RAW MATERIALS

Abstract

Radiation safety is one of the most important hygienic criteria for environmental safety of a material. Great influence on man and his ecological safety are building materials, which contain substances with a certain content of natural radionuclides. Knowledge of the regularity of the distribution of natural radionuclides in the structure of man-made raw materials, as well as their behavior in the process of technological processing into building materials are very valuable. After all, even at the design stage, you can assess their content in the finished products and make timely adjustments to prevent recycling of building materials and protect human health. The authors assessed the radiation hazard of secondary man-made raw materials according to international standards and showed that slag samples are radiation-safe and can be used as a building material without any significant radiological threat to the population.
