Research: Radioactivity in food and the environment (RIFE) report
Safety Classified by Officially
This report gives a detailed assessment of radioactivity in food and the environment and the public’s exposure to radiation during a specific year. It shows that the public’s exposure to permitted discharges and direct radiation near nuclear and non-nuclear sites is low and within dose limits.
The report brings together the nationwide monitoring programmes of the UK’s food standard agencies and environment agencies. This monitoring is independent of, and is also used as a check on, the monitoring carried out by site operators.
Older reports may not be suitable for users of assistive technology.
