NORM as legacy construction filling material - a modern approach according to Directive 2013/59/EURATOM

Regarding NORM, Directive applies in particular to human activities which involve the presence of natural radiation sources that lead to a significant increase in the exposure of workers or members of the public, in particular the processing of materials with naturally-occurring radionuclides (NORM) and the exposure of workers or members of the public to indoor radon, the external exposure from building materials and cases of lasting exposure resulting from the after-effects of an emergency or a past human activity. Precautionary principle (Pp) introduces a set of measures which are to be performed while operating certain technology in order not to cause harm. Most efficient measure is hazard characterization of the site of interest enabling the acceptable remediation program to be laid down if needed. Example of existing situation, the site of interest presented in the paper was heavily polluted with coal sludge and fly ash containing NORM originating from a local industrial power plant which was an essential production facility of a chemical plant.
