Terrestrial foodstuffs and other materials of agricultural importance have been analyzed for fission products and actinides discharged in waste from the Sellafield processing works in west Cumbria . Results obtained between 1977 and 1982 are summarized and it is concluded that the internal radiation exposure of the general public due to consumption of locally produced food in no instance amounts to more than a small fraction of recommended limits. Deposition of seaborne sediment is shown to be the main route by which radionuclides of Sellafield origin reach grazing land bordering a nearby tidal estuary.
已对具有农业重要性的陆地食品及其他材料进行分析，以检测从位于坎布里亚郡西部的塞拉菲尔德处理厂排放的废物中的裂变产物和锕系元素。总结了1977年至1982年期间获得的结果，得出的结论是，公众因食用当地生产的食物而受到的内部辐射暴露在任何情况下都不会超过推荐限值的一小部分。研究表明，来自塞拉菲尔德的放射性核素通过海相沉积物的沉降是到达附近潮汐河口接壤的牧场的主要途径。
