Abstract: The radioactive associated mines in China are of many kinds and large scales.There are many challenges in radiation safety supervision, and the severe situation of radiation safety even restricts the green and sustainable development of radioactive associated mines.In view of the characteristics of complicated regulatory objects, insufficient regulatory mechanism and limited regulatory resources of radioactive contamination in radioactive associated ores, this paper summarizes the status of radiation safety supervision of radioactive associated ores in China from two aspects of laws and regulations system, supervision and management methods, and then points out the problems existing in the current regulatory practice in terms of regulations and standards, institutional mechanisms and cultural construction.Three suggestions are put forward in order to provide references for prevention and control of radioactive pollution and supervision of radiation safety in the process of development and utilization of radioactive associated mines.
