Description

The Data shows all relevant parameters for the calculation of effective doses received from naturally occurring radioactivity of polymetallic nodules for site-specific (realistic) exposure scenarios at the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources in Hanover, Germany and a theoretical industrial scale, pyro metallurgical processing route for the beneficiation of nodules under conservative assumptions.

Steps to reproduce

Sources for external values are cited, parameters for the industrial scale operation were chosen to be as conservative as possible. Dust measurements during laboratory work was measured with a Dust Trak DRX Model 8534 (TSI), Radon measurements were done with a Radon Scout by SARAD GmbH
