HC Deb 08 November 1991 vol 198 c266W
Mr. Kilfedder

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many RIMNET sites for civil defence are in existence in Northern Ireland; how many are fully operational; and what is the maximum level of radiation in centrigrays which they can quantify.

Dr. Mawhinney

Northern Ireland has one fully operational RIMNET site with a further four expected to be in operation by mid-1992. The maximum level of measurable radiation which such sites can quantify is 0.3 centigrays per hour.
