Abstract/Summary

This report provides some of the conceptual background to the MINDEC model, which was developed as part of DHD research project R7118: Cost effective evaluation of hazards from mine waste. The report is structured along the lines of the risk assessment paradigm of source - pathway - receptor. Reference is made to examples of sources, pathways and receptors studied during field visits to Chile and Zimbabwe and a risk assessment methodology is demonstrated using a Korean case study of abandoned gold mine tailings.
