DOSE RATE IN A DEACTIVATED URANIUM MINE by Wagner De Souza Pereira, Alphonse Kelecom, Ademir Xavier da Silva, José Marquez Lopes, Alessander Sá do Carmo, Ayandra Oliveira Dias, Carlos Eduardo Cogo Pinto

“…Finally, the TLD showed a mean of 0.01 mSv∙h-1 (TLD detection limit is 0.2 mSv∙month-1 equivalent to 0.28 µSv∙h-1), associated to a standard deviation of 0.08 mSv∙h-1. 98% of the registered values were below 0.2 mSv∙month-1 and less than 2 % of the measurements had values above the limit of detection. The samples show areas with low risk of external exposure, as can be seen by the TLD evaluation. …”

Calcium carbonate promotes the formation and stability of soil macroaggregates in mining areas of China by Junyu Xie, Jianyong Gao, Hanbing Cao, Jiahui Li, Xiang Wang, Jie Zhang, Huisheng Meng, Jianping Hong, Tingliang Li, Minggang Xu

“…We studied changes in the concentrations of aggregate-cementing agents after different reclamation times and with different fertilization regimes, as well as the formation mechanism of aggregates in reclaimed soil, to provide a theoretical basis for rapid reclamation of soil fertility in the subsidence area of coal mines in Shanxi Province, China. In this study, soil samples of 0–20 cm depth were collected from four fertilization treatments of a long-term experiment started in 2008: no fertilizer (CK), inorganic fertilizer (NPK), chicken manure compost (M), and 50% inorganic fertilizer plus 50% chicken manure compost (MNPK). …”
