Details

The aim of the sixth report by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) was to summarise the work undertaken since 1995 and up until October 1998 in locating the source of the radioactive particles found in the general environment around the Dounreay Nuclear Establishment and to reconsider the possible health implications of encountering these particles. The implications of the ingestion of radioactive particles are considered in the report.
