Abstract:
The town of Zhovti Vody is a 'capital' of uranium mining and processing industry of Ukraine. The mining and processing of uranium has been carried out in this area for more than 60 y. During this period, due to increasing production activities, the town has grown significantly. As a result of production activities and also due to the human factor, the territory of the town was contaminated by radioactive rocks. In addition, out of ignorance, radioactive rocks were used in the construction of houses and roads. To normalize the radiation situation in the town, a targeted State Programme was adopted in 2003 for a period of 10 y. In 2013, the Programme was subsequently extended until 2022. In accordance with this Programme, decontamination of the urban territory, measurements of radon isotopes in houses and anti-radon reconstructions of the premises have been performed. The results of these works are described in this article.
