Abstract: |
The uranium mine in Schlema-Alberoda near the town Aue in south-east Germany was operated between 1947 and 1990. In 1979, a seismic event with local magnitude of ML = 2.9 and intensity MSK = 5 (Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik scale) was monitored close to the mining area. Due to this event and observations of underground dynamic de-stressing, a local seismic network was installed and extended in the following years. Seismic events were routinely located and source parameters for selected events were determined [1], [2]. It was found that most of the sources of dynamic events are located outside the mine, in the neighbouring granitic intrusion. During the period of active mining, continuous online evaluation of seismic events was performed in conjunction with online hazard evaluation [2]. |
