   Radiation map of the South Terras mine, detailing ground and UAV survey results. Measurements of radiation at South Terras mine are amongst the highest for non-nuclear facilities in Europe, owing to uranium ores decaying to form radon gas. [6] [7] Measurements from inside the adit were taken by Gillmore et al (2002): [8]

   11 have been considered for radon gas removal in uranium mines due to the formation of radon–fluorine compounds. [20] Radon compounds can be formed by the decay of radium in radium halides, a reaction that has been used to reduce the amount of radon that escapes from targets during irradiation. [25]

   Radon gas in the natural gas streams concentrate as NORM in gas processing activities. Radon decays to lead-210, then to bismuth-210, polonium-210 and stabilizes with lead-206. Radon decay elements occur as a shiny film on the inner surface of inlet lines, treating units, pumps and valves associated with propylene, ethane and propane processing ...
