Re: radioactivity from fossil fuel power stations

["julian ginniver" <julian.ginniver@lineone.net>]

Monty,



The NRPB have recently produced an updated report on the emissions from coal

fired electricity generation in the uk.  If you use the following link,

www.nrpb.org.uk/Reports/R327.htm you can then download the report (88 pages

in length) free in Adobe Acrobat format.



The reference and title for the report are as follows.



NRPB-R327

Radiological Impact on the UK Population of Industries which Use or Produce

Materials Containing Enhanced Levels of Naturally Occurring Radionuclides

Part I: Coal-fired Electricity Generation



K R Smith, G M Crockett, W B Oatway, M P Harvey, J S S Penfold and S F Mobbs



It would appear that this is intended to be the first in a series of reports

on the effects of norm.



Regards

    Julian Ginniver
