Radioactivity in Food and the Environment (RIFE)
We produce a survey report of radioactivity in food and the
environment each year. The latest report was sponsored by the
Environment Agency, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, the
Food Standards Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection
Agency. It covers the whole of the UK and surrounding seas.
The report includes data on concentrations of radionuclides in
food, sediments, soils, air, water and plants, plus radiation dose
rates over various substrates.
Risks to the public are calculated near sources of discharge to
the environment such as nuclear power stations. These are compared
with national and international standards for protection of the
public.
