HC Deb 04 May 1993 vol 224 c44W
Ms Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will place in the Library copies of the results of research commissioned since 1978 by her Department on the possible health effects of the discharge of krypton gas into the environment.

Mr. Sackville

The National Radiological Protection Board has issued a number of publications which contain estimates of the collective exposures arising from routine discharges of radionuclides from United Kingdom sites: krypton 85 is among the radionuclides considered. The most recent of these is "NRPB-R231, Radiological impact of routine discharges from UK civil nuclear sites" published in 1990, a copy of which is in the Library.
