This information should be used by anyone engaged in mining operations in Western Australia that involve or have the potential to involve naturally occurring radioactive material. This includes exploration, mining and mineral processing.

Work is being undertaken by the department to review these documents, the Guide NORM V Dose assessment is the first section of the Managing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) in mining and mineral processing to be updated.
