HC Deb 07 December 1990 vol 182 cc231-2W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish measured and estimated annual radiation dose equivalent uptakes in milliSieverts per annum by members of the general public living near Bradwell and Dungeness nuclear power stations arising directly from radiation in the local environment and from consumption of land produce; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

Information on radiation doses to the general public from radio activity in the marine and coastal environment and from consumption of locally produced foodstuffs around Bradwell and Dungeness power stations is published annually by this Department in the "Terrestrial Radioactivity Monitoring Report: Radioactivity in Food and Agricultural Products in England and Wales" and "Aquatic Environment Monitoring Report: Radioactivity in Surface and Coastal Waters of the British Isles". The latest copies of both reports are in the Library of the House.
