1. Introduction This report presents the results of the environmental monitoring programme carried out during 1986 by staff of the Directorate of Fisheries Research, Lowestoft. The monitoring programme supports the Ministry's functions under the Radioactive Substances Act, 1960 (Great Britain- Parliament, 1960). The programme is set up to verify the satisfactory control of liquid radioactive waste discharges to the aquatic environment, and to ensure that the resulting public radiation exposure is within nationally-accepted limits. The monitoring is independent of similar programmes carried out by nuclear site operators as a condition of their authorisations to discharge radioactive wastes. This report also includes results of monitoring carried out on behalf of departments of the Scottish Office, the Welsh Office, the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland (DOE (NI)) and the Channel Islands States. Where appropriate, the information presented is supplemented by results from our extensive programme of research into the behaviour of radioactivity in the aquatic environment. An important feature of our monitoring during 1986 was the special programme carried out in connection with the accident at Chernobyl, USSR on 26 April 1986. An interim report of this programme has already been published (Camplin et al., 1986). The present report contains summaries of data for the whole of 1986, relevant both to regular discharges of radioactive wastes and to fallout from Chernobyl. Results are presented within the usual format of monitoring around nuclear sites except for additional monitoring of radioactivity from Chernobyl in the freshwater environment, which is dealt with in a separate section. To set the monitoring results from our regular programme in context, liquid radioactive discharges from UK nuclear establishments to the aquatic environment in 1986 are first summarised. Before the results are presented, an explanatory section gives details of methods of analysis and presentation and how results are interpreted in terms of public radiation exposures.
