Five soil profiles were sampled around a uranium waste rock dump in South China, which included two unpolluted and three potentially uranium-polluted profiles. Through the comparison of the uranium distribution characteristics and the analysis of the uranium chemical forms of these profiles, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) significant uranium pollution to the surrounding soils was caused by the dump, and the average uranium in these soils, such as the profiles WP1, WP2 and WP3, was 633.6, 9 and 2.7 times more enriched than the background value; (2) the exotic uranium, which was pre...
