Characterisation of naturally occurring radioactive materials in the Mozambique-to-Secunda gas pipeline
Abstract
Internationally all oil and gas extraction and processing operations are required by
authorities to monitor and report on accumulation of naturally occurring radioactive
material, NORM, and technically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material,
TENORM (IOGP, 2016a). This is necessary because workers and the environment will be
exposed to ionising radiation from TENORM during maintenance and operations when
radioactive solid waste and liquid waste from these operations are to be disposed. Table
below shows different radiological risks to the workers and members of the public.
Comparison of radiological risks for this study with other countries ...
