Description: Report presents Phase I of a three phase process examining the radiological impact of technically enhanced natural radioactivity from non-uranium metal mining.  The purpose of the first phase is to study regions and generate data that will form the basis for the evaluation of the radiological significance of non-uranium mining in Canada.  Areas studied include Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Larder Lake, Sudbury, Manitouwadge, Red Lake, and Cobalt.
