Publication Abstract

Investigation of external radiation exposure pathways in the eastern Irish Sea

T.C. Doddington, W.C. Camplin and P. Caldwell

External exposure pathways were investigated in 1989, along the coastline from Rockcliffe in north Cumbria to the River Mersey. The survey involved four main periods of field work, when individuals and representatives of organisations were interviewed to establish the amounts of time spent in recreational and occupational activities over intertidal areas. Where necessary, data on seafood consumption rates were also collected. Gamma dose rate measurements were made to supplement the routine programme of monitoring operated by the Directorate of Fisheries Research.
