摘要：

In Italy, the EU Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom) have been implemented by means of a legislative decree (n degrees 241/2000), which provides the implementation of regulations for controlling the radiation exposure resulting due to a certain set of industrial activities involving NORM. Research aimed at estimating the environmental impact of some activities dealing with NORM is being carried out by a group of Environmental Protection Regional Agencies (ARPA) within the National Topic Centre on Physical Agents (CTN-AGF). This project aims to support the National Agency for the Environmental Protection (ANPA) in collecting environmental information about physical pollutants (ionizing and non-ionizing radiations, noise, etc.). At this stage of the project, the following industrial activities have been chosen: production of phosphate and fertilizers, processing of zircon sands, oil and gas extraction and oil refinery, coal-fired power plants, integrated steelworks and uranium mines. By now, the potentially NORM involved companies have been identified, mainly through respective sector associations. Questionnaires for collecting relevant information to assess environmental burden, a first step for radiological impact predictions, have been circulated amongst operators. The paper describes the results of this first review together with some radioactivity assessments and impact predictions performed in order to understand better the size of the problem for the case of industrial processes. In summary, phosphogypsum is no longer produced in the national phosphate industry, but past disposal areas occur throughout the country; intense work activities are recorded for all Italian sections of fertilizer production, zircon sand processing, integrated steel-working, hydrocarbon extraction and coal-fired energy production. Two closed uranium mines also exist.
