The final disposal of NORM wastes in conventional landfill generally determines problems of acceptance by the landfill operators, since their willingness to accept Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) is often limited due to their concern about the radiological risks and reluctance of the local community to have at local landfills material that despite being cleared is still perceived as 'radioactive'. In order to raise awareness among landfill operators, and also among other stakeholders on the actual radiological risk of exempted or cleared NORM wastes, it is of interest to estimate the mass of annual wastes containing NORM that can be disposed of in a landfill for conventional waste complying with the annual dose criterion of 1 mSv. A methodology was developed considering a hypothetical homogeneous large landfill and assuming that NORM wastes are delivered with an initial activity concentration of 1 kBq kg.

Article Synopsis
  • NORM contributes to radiation exposure for workers, the public, and the environment, prompting the EURATOM Horizon 2020 RadoNorm project to investigate exposure scenarios and data collection related to NORM across Europe.
  • The project aims to better understand the activities involving NORM and associated risks by developing a tiered methodology and tools for standardized data collection, including Excel NORM registers.
  • These tools facilitate the identification of NORM-related issues, characterize exposure scenarios, and support regulatory management of NORM processes and natural radiation exposure globally.
