ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT BY THE SEMIPALATINSK TEST SITE ON THE PERSONNEL AND THE OUTPUT PRODUCTS OF THE COAL DEPOSIT “KARAZHYRA”

This paper presents data on the radiological monitoring (2021–2025) of the produce of the coal deposit “Karazhyra” located within the Balapan test location at the former Semipalatinsk Test Site. Coal mine was found to pose not hazard to the public by its radionuclide composition and can be used in the economic activities with no limitations. Ash produced by combusting coal products of the “Karazhyra” deposit is classed as radiation hazard I and is usable in residential and public buildings under construction and reconstruction with no limitations. Recommendations were given to continue the radioecological monitoring with a view to assure safety for further deposit development.
