POPULATION DENSITIES AROUND URANIUM MINES

1.
Previously in the UNSCEAR 2000 Report [U1] and earlier, the Committee assumed a
population density of 3 km−2 from 0 to 100 km around a uranium mine/mill tailings site andthen a density of 25 km−2 from 100 to 2,000 km. Since this time the location of the mines
producing most of the world’s uranium has changed and therefore further information on
population densities was obtained.
2.
Table 1 below is derived from information on uranium mines provided by the World
Nuclear Association website [W1]. The site states: “Uranium mines operate in some
20 countries, though in 2014 some 54% of the world’s production came from just ten mines insix countries, these six countries providing 85% of the world’s mined uranium”.
3.
Information is available on the population distribution and densities around operating
mines in Australia and Canada and the densities are summarized in table 2. The other major
uranium mining areas are Kazakhstan, Niger, Namibia and the Zabaykalsky Krai region of
Russia near the Sino-Russian border. According to the World Bank, the population densities
for these geographical regions in 2015 were: Kazakhstan: 6.0 km−2; Niger: 16 km−2; Namibia:
3 km−2 [W3]. The World Atlas indicates that the corresponding value for Zabaykalsky Krai is:
2.7 km−2 [W2].
4.
However, the locations of the major mines are all at some distance from the main
population centres in these countries and so the population densities around the mines are
expected to be lower than the value for the country or region as a whole.
5.
From these data the Committee agreed that a population density of 5 km−2 should be
used for all distances for uranium mines and mill tailings sites.

aThe population estimates for Canadian mines were calculated in ArcGIS using ESRI’s World Population Estimate population density map [E1].
Additional details for the population data can be found here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ac0401d78fa24a10a9151ffe50f35afe.
Population data were obtained by 100 km radial intervals (i.e. 0–100 km, 100–200 km, 1 900–2 000 km) and the totals summed. Because all
the operating Canadian uranium mine/mill sites are relatively close together, (approx. 160 km between two furthest sites Key Lake andMcClean Lake), and are located in remote regions, the radial intervals were centred around Key Lake Mill, the southernmost uranium
mine/mill, which was presumed to result in the most conservative estimate of population because it is closer to the more populous USA. The
coordinate system used was a WGS UTM Zone 13N Projection to minimize error in population estimates associated with mapping the earth ona two-dimensional plane.

DERIVATION OF POPULATION DENSITIES AROUND NUCLEAR
POWER SITESA.

Introduction

6.
UNEP/DEWA/GRID-Geneva developed three geoprocessing models able to generate
several thousand geodesic buffers of various types and sizes needed to derive population
numbers around nuclear power sites within specified buffer zones.
7.
Population data were extracted both for sites with any kind of reactor status and forsites with operating reactors only. Tabular results were derived from the population data inthree different ways: by nuclear power site, by UNEP GEO region and also for Europe
allowing for the effect of double counting. 1
B.

Materials and methods

8.
In order to deliver the expected outputs, three large geoprocessing models weredeveloped using ESRI ModelBuilder in ArcGIS 10. ModelBuilder can be thought of as a visualprogramming language for building workflows. A number of advanced techniques were
implemented, such as in-line variable substitution, iteration, preconditions and if-then-else logic.
9.
Based on user input data and input values, the geoprocessing models automaticallygenerated geodesic buffers, manipulated them in various ways and extracted population from a
global population distribution data set. Population data were provided by nuclear power site, by
UNEP GEO region and also for Europe with the effect of double counting.
10.

The following buffer types and areas were generated around each nuclear power site:(a) For the output provided by nuclear power site (table 3 and table 4) – one disk buffer
with a radius of 10 km and five ring buffers with radius 10 km to 100 km, 100 km to
500 km, 500 km to 1,000 km, 1,000 km to 1,500 km and 1,500 km to 2,000 km;(b) For the output provided by UNEP GEO region and subregion (table 5 and table 6) – one
disk buffer with a radius of 100 km and one ring buffer with radius 100 km to 1,500 km;(c) For the output provided for Europe with the effect of double counting (table 7 andtable 8) − one disk buffer with a radius of 100 km.

11.
The required population outputs were produced using the three models mentioned
earlier. Each model generated and combined polygons in various ways, iterated over polygons
to produce new shapefiles, extracted by mask the cells of a raster population grid, calculated
fields and combined multiple tabular files. For each polygon and sometimes group of polygons,
the following features were created: a shapefile, a grid and a DBF file. The key applications of
the models were as follows:(a) Using the first model, population by site was determined for each nuclear power site,
for a given buffer radius and type, the population located within the buffer area. It
contained eight submodels;1

Population located within overlapping buffers is counted more than once.

ELECTRONIC ATTACHMENT 3: POPULATION DENSITIES AROUND URANIUM MINES AND NUCLEAR POWER SITES 6(b) In the second model, population by region was determined for each country, foraggregated buffers of a given radius and type around the nuclear power sites, together withthe total population located within the aggregated buffer area (population withinoverlapping buffers is counted once). It contained seven submodels;(c) Using the third model, population by region with the effect of double counting, wasdetermined for each country, for each buffer part of a given radius and type around thenuclear power sites, the total population located within the areas of the buffer parts(population within overlapping buffers is counted more than once). It contained eight
submodels.
12.

The following data sets were used by the models:(a) UNEP/DEWA/GRID-Geneva Nuclear Power Stations of the World (status 2010);(b) LandScan (2008) High Resolution Global Population Data Set, UT-Battelle, LLC,
ORNL, DoD;(c) International Boundary Resources, UN Cartographic Section (with expanded coastlines).
1.

Effect of overlapping buffers on population (double counting)

13.
Table 3 and table 4 (obtained by the first model) show population by nuclear power site
for six specified buffer radii (one disk buffer and five ring buffers). For a given site (one site
per row), population numbers can be added, because the buffers are non-overlapping(0−10 km, 10−100 km, 100−500 km, …). For a given buffer radius (one buffer radius percolumn), population numbers cannot be added, because many buffers are partly overlappingwith each other and population within these intersections would be double-counted. These twotables should only be used to obtain, for a given site, the population located around the site
within buffers of various sizes.
14.
Table 5 and table 6 (obtained by the second model) show population by UNEP GEO
region and subregion for two buffer radii (one disk buffer and one ring buffer). For a given
region or subregion, population numbers can be added, because the buffers are nonoverlapping (0−100 km, 100−1,500 km). For a given buffer radius, population numbers canalso be added, because the buffers are aggregated and intersected with the countries.
Population located within a buffer intersection (before the aggregation process) is counted
once, and thus, there is no effect of overlapping buffers.
15.
Table 7 and table 8 (obtained by the third model) show population by the UNEP GEO
European region and subregion for one buffer radius (one disk buffer) with the effect ofoverlapping buffers (double counting). On purpose, the population within a buffer intersection
was counted more than once to take into account the exposure from several nuclear powersites. Therefore, the obtained population numbers are much higher than the actual population
located within the buffers.
