NRSC is actively carrying out environmental radiometric measurements of mining sites in Armenia. The purpose of the radiation monitoring is to find out the radiation situation in the mining site.
For the measurement of the natural background of gamma radiation, a mobile system for recording the gamma radiation with the possibility of recording the geographical location coordinates of the measuring points is used. As a result of monitoring the natural background of gamma radiation, sampling of the surface areas were the highest values of the radiation is recorded are implemented for research by gamma spectral analysis․
