This paper presents a critical analysis of the environmental responses to the releases of radionuclides and metals from the uranium mining and milling facilities of Pocos de Caldas into surface waters. An evaluation of groundwater contamination due to the migration of seepage water from the tailing dam was also performed. The study was based on monitoring data. It is shown that tailing dilution is the most important source of MDA and sulfate to the aquatic environment, while acid mine and waste rock drainage were found to be the main sources of radon and other radionuclides detected in groundwater under the tailing dam, which showed only sulfate contamination.
