Abstract: Wastewater discharge is one of the main pathways for the environmental release of radioactive nuclides in the development and utilization of NORM mines. In order to protect public health, radiation safety supervision for the development and utilization of NORM mines is being strengthened in recent years. However, there are no corresponding standards and regulations on how to treat and discharge NORM wastewater. Based on analysis of the production and discharge status of NORM wastewater in China, suggestions on how to standardize the treatment and discharge of NORM wastewater are put forward.

Key words: NORM wastewater, NORM mines, NORM material, NORM solid waste
