Much of our recent work has been about highlighting the potential risks from low-level radiation. This video, presented by Dr Jeffrey Patterson of Physicians for Social Responsibility, gives an excellent overview of some of the issues associated with low-level radiation.
- 2010-09-08 10:29NAG has submitted an objection to the 'Project Hydrus' planning application at the Atomic Weapons Establishment. The application is expected to be determined by West Berkshire Council on 29th September 2010.
- 2010-08-24 12:20NAG has written to the Planning Inspector who will be conducting the Boundary Hall public inquiry to give our views on development in the vicinity of Atomic Weapons Establishment sites. Public safety must come first, according to NAG, and the Inspector should turn down the application for a proposed housing development close to the AWE Aldermaston perimeter fence on the Boundary Hall site.

We are where we are!
Concerns must be focused on risk minimization
Challenge is how do LAs seek engagement by Government/regulators with communities we represent
- 2006-11-02 00:00This is an explanation of the technical methods used to determine an Emergency Planning Zone around nuclear installations. It is based on notes made at a presentation to NAG by Nigel Holloway, a former AWE employee, in September 2001

We are pleased that these discharges are currently at a very low level. However, we are aware that this may not be a permanent state of affairs, and therefore suggest that limits for disposal of alpha emitters to air are retained for future radioactive waste disposal authorisations for AWE.

The basic principle needs to be that the polluter pays - the production of radioactive waste involves responsibility for its long-term storage. Any subsidies from the taxpayer should be dealt with on a justification basis
