HomeImplied doses to the population of the EU arising from reported discharges from EU nuclear power stations and reprocessing sites in the years 2004 to 2008
Publication metadata
The aim of this study was to assess implied doses to the population of the European Union (EU) based on reported discharges of radioactive material from EU nuclear power stations and reprocessing sites for the period 2004 to 2008. The twenty-five countries that were Member States of the European Union in 2004 were included in the study. The dose calculations were performed using the software program PC-CREAM 08®, which is an updated implementation of European Commission methodology for assessing the radiological impact of routine releases of radionuclides to the environment. For selected years, estimates of both individual and collective doses were made for each site. These dose estimates take account of reported discharges to the atmosphere, to rivers and to the sea. The report gives details of the assessment methodologies and data used and discusses the estimated doses and compares them with those calculated for previous years.
