The in-situ experimental parameters taken were the gross \u03b1, \u03b2 and \u03b2\/\u03b3 counts and the dose rate. On the other hand, the analyses performed in the laboratory were gross alpha and beta activity indices and gamma spectrometry. The neural network architecture was designed based on the complexity of the study area, as it is an abandoned dump with a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of composition, granulometry and mineralogy. Furthermore, the orography of the area adds an extra complexity to the problem. Therefore, the authors used the &#8220;divide and conquer&#8221; computational technique and classified the problem into 10 sub-networks in which the groups were categorised according to the distance to certain points established in each class.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10446\" style=\"width: 391px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-300x245.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"391\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-770x630.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-500x409.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-293x240.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-300x245.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"391\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-770x630.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-500x409.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12-293x240.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/F12.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <em>Final result of the characterization of the study area using the neural network developed.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The error caused by the heterogeneity of the experimental values was minimised in the output of the network by means of a convolution filter. This convolution filter was used to minimise the over-fitting produced by the adjustment of this type of experimental points. The experimental results taken in situ and those analysed in the laboratory were consistent with each other.

This mine has the peculiarity of [&hellip;]","og_url":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/","og_site_name":"Revista Nuclear Espa\u00f1a","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SNE.spain","article_published_time":"2021-12-20T08:37:04+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-12-20T08:45:36+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1920,"height":1079,"url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FOTOGRANDE.jpg?fit=1920%2C1079&ssl=1","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"V\u00edctor Manuel Exp\u00f3sito Su\u00e1rez, Jos\u00e9 Francisco Benavente Cuevas, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Su\u00e1rez Navarro, \u00c1ngela Caro Benito, Mar\u00eda Bel\u00e9n Sanz Sedano, Antonio Gonz\u00e1lez Sanabria, Marta Barrag\u00e1n Romero, Guillermo Hernaiz Alonso, Hortensia Chamorro Villanueva, Manuel Arlandi Rodr\u00edguez, Luis Jord\u00e1 Bordehore","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@SNEu235","twitter_site":"@SNEu235","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"V\u00edctor Manuel Exp\u00f3sito Su\u00e1rez, Jos\u00e9 Francisco Benavente Cuevas, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Su\u00e1rez Navarro, \u00c1ngela Caro Benito, Mar\u00eda Bel\u00e9n Sanz Sedano, Antonio Gonz\u00e1lez Sanabria, Marta Barrag\u00e1n Romero, Guillermo Hernaiz Alonso, Hortensia Chamorro Villanueva, Manuel Arlandi Rodr\u00edguez, Luis Jord\u00e1 Bordehore","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/"},"author":{"name":"V\u00edctor Manuel Exp\u00f3sito Su\u00e1rez","@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/b97766e30ec13f1e9e53b4598f51508f"},"headline":"Radiological characterization of an area impacted by mining using a neural network developed with Python","datePublished":"2021-12-20T08:37:04+00:00","dateModified":"2021-12-20T08:45:36+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/"},"wordCount":456,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FOTOGRANDE.jpg","keywords":["environmental radioactivity","neural network","radiochemistry","uranium"],"articleSection":["Climate and Environment"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/","url":"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/en\/climate-and-environment\/radiological-characterization-of-an-area-impacted-by-mining-using-a-neural-network-developed-with-python\/","name":"Radiological characterization of an area impacted by mining using a neural network developed with Python -
