Funded Activity Summary

In vivo Assessment of Radiation Dose from Inhalation of Radioactive Dust in the Mining and Milling of Radioactive Ores. The project will use a combination of in vivo gamma-ray spectrometry measurements and modelling to determine quantities of retained radioactive materials in mine workers exposed to long-lived radioactive dust and the radiation doses from those materials. These studies will provide better indications of dose in a range of mining environments. Current indirect dose estimation techniques will be tested and improved. This benefits both industry and workers as it allows greater optimisation of work practices and greater confidence for workers and their communities about the real risks from radiation exposure. Our project will enhance the viability of the Australian mining industry.
