Abstract : The main purpose of this study is to determine the radon concentration in surface waters affected by uraniumcontaining
surface debris and outcrops. In this study, the results of a study on the radon concentration in surface waters of
Kasar uranium deposits located within the borders of Manisa province in the Aegean region of Turkey are reported. The
uranium ores in this area are of Neogene age and are generally in the form of altered sandstone and conglomerate. Therefore,
the surface exposures contain altered U3O8, which is easily dissolved by surface waters. The research includes real-time
measurements using the RAD7 portable radon monitor and the collection of water samples from adits, springs, streams, and
rivers and determining the radon content in them. The source of the high radon concentration on the surface was determined
to be the outgrowths of uranium ore regions and rock piles with high uranium content. Radon concentration levels obtained
from the surface waters of the uranium mine site were evaluated by comparing national and international standards. Due to
the high radon concentration obtained, appropriate techniques that can be applied for the remediation of this contaminated
area have been proposed.
