Abstract
The gamma radiation and radon flux density of soils overlying the Bilanovo iron ore and Kremenchug uranium deposits have been measured in the field and laboratory. The resulting distribution maps of the main nuclides identify areas of increased radiological risk. For the most part, the parameters are not critical, but the measured levels should be considered as a basis for regular radiological monitoring.
