DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Robbie Lindsay (UWC)\nThe PAUL project has made sign
 ificant progress toward planning and designing an underground laboratory t
 o be constructed during the upgrade of the Huguenot Road Tunnel near Paarl
  in the Western Cape\, South Africa. Measurements of muon-flux suppression
  in the tunnel—critical to demonstrating reduced cosmic-ray backgrounds
 —will be presented in a separate contribution to this conference. Here\,
  we report on measurements of the gamma-ray background and radon concentra
 tions\, which are also crucial for assessing the site’s suitability for 
 low-background experiments.\n\nThis presentation summarizes radon monitori
 ng results\, gamma-ray spectra measured in the tunnel\, and the concentrat
 ions of naturally occurring radionuclides in the surrounding rock. Measure
 ment methods and results will be described\, with emphasis on implications
  for background mitigation and for the design of the planned underground l
 aboratory.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/event/139/contributions/3834/
