Rewerski et al. (2014):

"The Radoniów deposit is located in the northern part of the Izera Metamorphic Complex (Poland).

This unit is composed of granitic gneisses, quartz-biotiteschists, mylonites and breccias with trace amounts of sulphides.

Primary and secondary uranium minerals have been found.

The primary minerals are pitchblende, uraninite with blue fluorite, and hematite.
Between secondary minerals, metatorbernite, metauranocircite, metaautunite and uranophane were recognized (Piestrzynski et al., 2006).
Uranium mining has started in 1954 and was continued until 1960.
Post-mining wastes were deposited in the dump located near the mine.
Originally the dump covered an area of about 25 000 m² and γ-measurements made in 1971 showed elevated radiation (about 500 µR/h (~5 µSv/h)), reaching a maximum dose rate of 2000 µR/h (about 20 µSv/h) (Piestrzynski et al., 1996).

During the next twenty years the dump was re-exploited for local purposes (mainly for construction of local roads and sometimes for buildings).
In 1994 the average noted dose rate was about 80µR/h with maximum 105 µR/h (about 0.8–1.05 µSv/h).
All data collected by Piestrzynski et al. (1996) show that the rocks deposited on the dump reveal a significant amount of uranium.

The available data are not sufficient to present quantitative figures of uranium content in the dump and its dispersion around the dump."
