ABSTRACT
Uranium mining which consciously and purposely comes into contact with natural sources of ionizing radiation has to solve, besides “usual” impacts of raw material mining on the environment, also specific problems connected with the leakage of radiation sources into the environment. They are emissions of radon and its daughter products, radioactively contaminated water and radioactive dust. The lecture is about principles of radiation protection in uranium mining at the mine Rožná I of the state enterprise DIAMO.
