A methodology for the assessment of rehabilitation success of post mining landscapes—sediment and radionuclide transport at the former Nabarlek uranium mine, Northern Territory, Australia

Protection of the environment post-mining is an important issue, especially where runoff and erosion can lead to undesirable material leaving post-mining landscapes and contaminating surrounding land and watercourses. Methods for assessment of the environmental impact and long-term behaviour of post...
