Through exploitation the coal are brought to the surface some of the radioactive elements in the earth's crust. Coal used in the process of Thermo-electric power station (CET) Paroseni produce from burning slag and ash, which is deposited in the Valley Caprisoara. It is known that, radioactive elements in the coal not burn and not oxidize, so that radioactive waste of ash is more concentrated. In this paper we propose to determine the distribution of radionuclides in ash and slag in deposits and surrounding areas. These measurements are necessary because the nature and energy of radiation emitted are conditional of ways the irradiation of organisms.
