§ Mr. Hancockasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish figures of levels of radiation in an area covered by the monitoring stations surrounding Winfrith, Dorset.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThere are 16 monitoring stations around the SGHW reactor. Levels of radiation detected at these stations are equivalent to dose rates of 70 nano sieverts per hour, consistent with background levels. The only exception has been a detection of the Chernobyl cloud, when levels increased to about 100 nano sieverts per hour, returning to the normal level after about two weeks.
