Summary:Radiological aspects of the usability of red mud as building material additive are studied. The use of red mud and bauxite in the production of special cements is shown to be effective from a radiological aspect. In the case of brick production, the use of the materials is only possible with a limited blending ratio. As the maximum radionuclide concentration of the base materials may significantly differ from the average value, it will be reasonable to check the components or the products from a radiological aspect in all cases. The results suggest that for the production of cements an even stricter limit needs to be determined when both bauxite and red mud are used.
