In order to assess the level of residual radioactivity and evaluate the radiological conditions at the former French nuclear testing sites of Reggane and Taourirt Tan Afella in the south of Algeria, the International Atomic Energy Agency, at the request of the government of Algeria, conducted a field mission to the sites in 1999. At these locations, France conducted a number of nuclear tests in the early 1960s. At the ground zero locality of the ''Gerboise Blanche'' atmospheric test (Reggane) and in the vicinity of a tunnel where radioactive lava was ejected during a poorly contained explosion (Taourirt Tan Afella), non-negligible levels of radioactive material could still be measured. Using the information collected and using realistic potential exposure scenarios, radiation doses to potential occupants and visitors to the sites were estimated.
为评估阿尔及利亚南部前法国核试验场雷加内和陶里尔特·坦阿费拉的剩余放射性水平并评估其放射状况，应阿尔及利亚政府请求，国际原子能机构于1999年对这些试验场进行了实地考察。20世纪60年代初，法国在这些地点进行了多次核试验。在“白色沙鼠”大气层试验（雷加内）的爆心投影点所在地以及在一次控制不佳的爆炸中喷出放射性熔岩的隧道附近（陶里尔特·坦阿费拉），仍可测量到不可忽视水平的放射性物质。利用收集到的信息并采用实际潜在照射情景，估算了这些试验场潜在居住者和访客所受的辐射剂量。
