MARINE RADIOACTIVITY IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, 1990 - 2009

摘要: Since the mid-1960s, samples of marine environmental materials collected from Alderney, Guernsey and Jersey have been analysed to determine concentrations artificial radionuclides in vicinity these Channel Islands. The three surveillance programmes now primarily monitor effects radioactive discharges French reprocessing plant at La Hague power station Flamanville; they also serve any historical disposals waste Hurd Deep, a natural trough western English Channel. Fish shellfish are monitored order exposure internal irradiation pathway; sediment is with relevance external exposures. Seawater seaweeds sampled as indicator and, latter case, because their use fertilisers. Milk crop Islands reported recent years, but will not be discussed here.
