Title: The characterization of the radioactivity in the Cacica salt mine

Abstract: This paper presents the radioactive characterization (alfa-beta, gamma, radon and tritium) of the Cacica salt mine located in the Suceava county for speleotherapeutycal and medical purposes and for balneary and climatic tourism. The measurements have been made in situ and on samples of salt and water taken from the interior of the mine. These measurements were made as a part of a complex study from a radioactive, medical and biological point of view for an inovative use of the factors found in salt mines and caves that have a therapeutical potential in healthcare and balneoclimateric tourism.

Key words: radiological characterization, dosimetric systems, radiological and dosimetric measurements
