Jerry,
It is my understanding that both plants are
releasing Kr-85 to the atmosphere. I have found a report prepared for the
European Parliament (Directorate General for Research, Scientific
and Technical Options Assessment) that shows that in 1999 the
discharges from Sellafield were about 1e17 Bq, and for La Hague were about 5e17
Bq (obtained from graphs on pages 35 and 57). The report was prepared by
WISE-Paris and generated some controversy. As such the report is clearly
indicated as a draft report for the consideration of the European Parliament and
should not be regarded as the views of the parliament. However it
should be noted that the values given in the report for Kr-85 for both plants
were simply obtained from reports produced by the operators
themselves.
If you wish I could send you (or anyone who is interested) a
copy of the report directly, although you should note that it is a pdf document
that is just over 1Mb in size.
Regards
Julian
Ginniver
