1. Introduction

This report presents the results of the environmental monitoring programme carried 
out during 1983 by staff of the Directorate of Fisheries Research, Lowestoft. The 
monitoring programme is part of the Ministry's responsibilities 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.

To set the monitoring results in proper context, liquid radioactive discharges from 
UK nuclear establishments to the aquatic environment in 1983 are first summarised.
Before exposition of the monitoring results, an explanatory section gives details of 
how the results are presented and interpreted in terms of public radiation exposures.
