Atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides from mining tailings piles

Abstract

The extraction of various minerals essential for industry and agriculture is associated with the extraction of radionuclides from the radioactive decay chains of thorium and uranium. Therefore, it cannot be ignored that radionuclides from tailings piles can be dispersed. Thus, a tool for calculating the dispersion and deposition of radionuclides suspended in the atmosphere from mining sites is being made utilizing satellite wind data and evolutionary neural networks. This tool will function by creating multiple layers of neural networks that correspond to each environment compartment, storing the calculated values in a database, and tracking changes over time.
