Abstract
Data on the radionuclide content of coal, bottom ash and fly ash are reviewed. Estimates are made of the quantities of various radionuclides released to the environment from coal combustion and the probable resultant radiation doses to the population. Factors that influence these dose estimates, such as particle size, solubility and radon emanating power are discussed.Keywords
