Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0890959A2] A safe storage process for radioactive materials, especially ore residues containing uranium, radium and/or radon, involves applying a protective layer of coarse radiation screening material particles mixed with a fine grained component onto the radioactive material and optionally applying a sealing cover. Preferably, the protective layer is a 5-50 cm thick layer of 11-200 mm diameter particles and 0-11 mm diameter particles of barytes and/or lead ore. It may be a 5-30 mm thick layer of 0-100 mm diameter particles of barytes and/or lead ore and 0-2 mm diameter sealing material particles or asphalt.
