G. F. Heap, Paper 10

Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 show data for 1981. There are significant differences between these results and those for 1980 which were presented in the Paper.

For example, in 1981 there were increased liquid effluent discharges of tritium from Trawsfynydd (owing to the earlier boiler leakage incident) and of radio nuclides other than tritium from Oldbury (because of fuel storage-pond cleaning). Discharge figures for ^Ar in gaseous effluent from Oldbury and Wylfa (180 and 40 TBq

respectively) were also noted. Low radiation doses were received by members of the public as a result of nuclear power station operations.
