The results of the air quality study as well as the ground water studies performed for SLR was used in the assessment. The methodology prescribed the National Nuclear Regulator: GD 1032 has been used to perform the radiation impact assessment for the members of the Public and the Environment. The radiation dose was calculated for the inhalation of radon emanating from the proposed tailings facility and the respirable (PM10) dust containing uranium. No radiation dose could be determined for the ingestion of vegetables contaminated by mine dust or irrigated with contaminated water. A small number of the local inhabitants at Nyakallong grow their own vegetables irrigated with municipal water. The ingestion dose due to the windblown dust and contaminated water was assessed from a study performed by Bain et al who found the annual disk at various mines did not exceed about 20 µSv/a. This small number is beyond regulatory concern any way as the maximum allowable dose for a member of the public is 1000 µSv/a (with a dose constraint of 250 µSv/a per single source. The results are presented in the following table: The dose to the most exposed person Radon Dose: <2 µSv/a Dust Dose: (PM 10) <1 µSv/a Ingestion Dose 0 µSv/a Dose from Water 0 Total Dose at Present <2 µSv/a The risk of ground water pollution is also very low due to fact that the area has been subjected to mining by Harmony at Target and Pres Steyn for many years with no uranium being detected in any borehole except at Voëlpan next to Nyakallong. The uranium may be the result of acid mine drainage from the waste rock dump next to it. This water is brackish and unsuitable for drinking or irrigation. The pan is home to a few thousand Flamingos . The radiation life time risk to a member of the public is given as 4% per Sv by the International Commission for Radiation Protection. For a dose of 1 µSv/a the risk is 4.0E-8 or about 1 in a 400 million. The impact on the public is there for very small. The risk was calculated for the tailings dam in its final stage at maximum height and size and is therefore the maximum risk to the workers and the public. In terms of the risk after mitigating the risk it is already so low that it is not necessary to do any mitigation 4 The conclusion may therefore be made that the new proposed Jeanette mine and plant as well as the TSF will not have any significant impact on the public or the environment during commissioning and operation. The post closure radiation dose will be determined in conjunction with the National Nuclear Regulator who must approve the mine closure and rehabilitation program. 5 Contents Revision History .............................................................................................................................. 2 Executive Summary ........................................................................................................................ 4 1 INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................................... 8 1.2 Brief Project Description.................................................................................................... 8 1.3 Construction Phase ........................................................................................................... 8 1.4 Operational Phase ............................................................................................................ 8 1.5 Processing Plant ............................................................................................................. 11 1.6 Post Closure. ................................................................................................................. 11 2 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES ................................................................................................... 11 3.
