Towards effective radiation protection based on improved scientific evidence and social considerations – focus on Radon and NORM
The RadoNorm project aims to manage risks arising from radon and NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) exposure situations in order to ensure effective radiological protection. Our work aims to identify the main soil parameters controlling the mobility of NOR (Naturally Occurring Radionuclides) in soils in order to propose more representative solid-liquid distribution coefficients (Kd) with lower variability, useful as input data in radioecological risk assessment models. We create datasets of soil Kd (NOR) values; identify key soil properties that govern NOR interaction, considering the dynamics of sorption-desorption processes in soils; and develop models to predict Kd (NOR) from soil parameters in environmentally relevant scenarios.
The RadoNorm project (900009) is funded by the European Union under the Euratom research and training programme 2019-2020.
