Hospital sewer releases



Hi,
   Here in the UK we are regulated as to discharges &, amongst many 
other duties, we (I!) must estimate all patient activities excreted to 
sewer. The D of Envir. has surveyed such discharges &, in '89, the NRPB 
was contracted by the D of E (HMIP) to estimate "rad. exp. of sewer workers 
associated with radioactive discharges from hospitals". The report, with 
this title, was published in July '91 and is numbered DoE/HMIP/RR/91/031. 
It contains tables of discharges etc, etc. You could try contacting either 
the D of E or NRPB for a copy of the report.

	NRPB fax no is US-UK (0)235833891
	Sorry I don't have Internet nos. for personnel at NRPB, but you 
could try addressing your request in the first instance to Brian Marsh, 
Training Section.

	Hope this helps without opening cans of worms!
