NAG 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. To read more about our views and find out how you can submit your views to the inquiry please click on the link above.
NAG meeting: February 2010: New Studies on the Impact of Low Level Radiation
frontpage | safety
Our special guest at our spring 2010 meeting was Dr Ian Fairlie, an independent concultation on radiation and the environment. Dr Fairlie spoke about the German KiKK study into the relationship between childhood cancers and nuclear power stations, and also the risks posed by radioactive tritium.

discharges | safety
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.
