'series' or 'thorium series 'radionuclides. A mine processing 'radioactive' ores is any <br/>mine that yields ores containing 'uranium series' or 'thorium series 'radionuclides, <br/>either in sufficient quantities or concentrations to warrant exploitation or, <br/>when present in conjunction with other substances being mined, in quantities <br/>or concentrations that require 'radiation protection' measures to be taken as <br/>determined by the 'Regulatory Authority'. A mill processing 'radioactive' ores' 'is <br/>any 'facility' for processing 'radioactive 'ores from a mine processing <i>radioactive<br/></i>ores' 'as here defined to produce a physical or chemical concentrate.] (From <br/>Ref. [1].)<br/>
This definition from the BSS included those mining and processing <i>operations<br/></i>aimed at extracting 'uranium series' or 'thorium series' radionuclides and those <br/>aimed at the extraction of other substances from ore where this represents a <br/>significant radiological hazard.<br/>Strictly speaking, a mill in the context of the processing of minerals is a <i>facility<br/></i>for the processing of ore to reduce its particle size, especially by crushing or <br/>grinding. However, in the context of the BSS definition, the term 'mill' is used <br/>in a broader sense to denote a 'facility' in which additional (e.g. <br/>hydrometallurgical) processing may also be carried out. Owing to the <br/>possibility of confusion, the use of the word 'mill' in this broader sense, in this <br/>expression or elsewhere, is discouraged.<br/>This definition has been included for information only. Words are used with <br/>their normal dictionary definitions except for the term 'radioactive'. See <br/>'radioactive' (2).<br/>" (en)
