Abstract (english)

The objective of this study was to describe the radiochemical characteristics of electric arc furnace (EAF) slag from Croatian EAF black steel slags, generated from carbon steel production process in CMC Sisak d.o.o., and steel mill in Split in order to enhance the understanding of possibilities for their use in road construction. This article presents the results of radionuclide in electric arc furnace steel slag. The presence of natural isotopes 40 K, 232 Th ( 228 Ra), 226 Ra and 238 U was established. The measured activity in slag natural isotopes lies within the Croatian legally permitted limits.
