摘要

The exploitation of radium salts and uranium in Portugal over almost a century produced a large amount of waste that may be the source of environmental impacts in the surrounding areas. The mines of Urgeirica, Cunha Baixa and Quinta do Bispo were the most important, with a total of 7.2 million t of mining mill tailings and wastes produced and currently deposited in several places near the old mining sites. A total of 325 samples from the tailings, waste waters, surface and groundwaters, stream sediments and soils were collected and analysed for total U and for the radionuclides of its decay chain. The comparative study revealed differences between the Urgeirica, Cunha Baixa and Quinta do Bispo mining areas concerning the distribution pattern of the radionuclides. The most relevant difference is the high concentration of ~(226)Ra measured in waters and soils around the Cunha Baixa site, the result of geological and anthropogenic factors. The radionuclide activities in the stream sediments of the main watercourse that drains the Urgeirisa mine site are also high, particularly in the cases of ~(238)U and ~(230)Th, probably originating from the mill tailings deposit.
