      abstract     = {In this study we performed microscopic characterization of
                      mineral particles that were collected in the thorium-rich
                      Fen Complex in Norway and identified and isolated based on
                      autoradiography in function of their radioactivity. For this
                      we combined information obtained with X-ray absorption
                      $μ$-CT, $μ$-XRF and $μ$-XRD, both in bi- and in
                      three-dimensional (tomographic) mode. We demonstrate that
                      radionuclides and metals are heterogeneously distributed
                      both within soil samples and within individual Th-enriched
                      aggregates, which are characterised as low-density mineral
                      bulk particles with high density material inclusions, where
                      Th as well as several metals are highly concentrated. For
                      these sites, it is important to take into account how these
                      inhomogeneous distributions could affect the overall
                      environmental behaviour of Th and progeny upon weathering
                      due to human or environmental factors. Moreover, the
                      estimated size of the Th-containing inclusions as determined
                      in this work represents information of importance for the
                      characterization of radionuclides and toxic metals exposure,
                      as well as for assessing the viability of mining for Th and
                      rare-earth metals in the Fen Complex and the associated
                      environmental impact.},
