FOREWORD

This publication, Radiation Monitoring in the Mining and Milling of Radioactive 
Ores, was jointly prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the 
International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). 
It is a revision of IAEA Safety Series No. 43, which was originally issued in 1976 
by the IAEA and the ILO jointly under the title Manual on Radiological Safety in 
Uranium and Thorium Mines and Mills. This previous edition covered radiation 
safety standards for mining and milling, radiation monitoring for occupational 
protection, engineering and ventilation control measures, and medical surveillance. 
It is now out of print and its content is not necessarily valid.

In 1983, the IAEA, together with ILO and WHO, published the revised version of 
Safety Series No. 26, containing the Code of Practice on Radiation Protection of 
Workers in the Mining and Milling of Radioactive Ores and a Technical Addendum.
Safety Series No. 26 contains radiation protection standards and codes used in mining 
and milling. In 1987 the IAEA published Safety Series No. 82, a Safety Guide on the 
Application of the Dose Limitation System to the Mining and Milling of Radioactive 
Ores. This Safety Guide contains guidance on the application of optimization 
procedures in mines and mills, the technology of protection measures and other 
aspects such as operational decisions and training of personnel. Safety Series 
No. 82 also contains examples of the use of optimization at different stages in 
the mining and milling of radioactive ores.

This revised version of Safety Series No. 43 has been limited in coverage to radiation 
monitoring and medical surveillance only, in view of the publication of the revised 
version of Safety Series No. 26 and Safety Series No. 82. It should be used in 
conjunction with IAEA Safety Series No. 9 (1982) on Basic Safety Standards 
for Radiation Protection, and with Safety Series Nos 26 and 82.
