Radiation related issues

We have proof that there are plutonium and uranium particles in the silt around Hinkley. These are mainly in the first metre of mud and silt which gets resuspended in the water when dredged and dumped again.

• Introduction    Radiation and Hinkley – the background to why, when and how


• Hot particles    Why they are an important hazard


• CR-39 Hot particle testing    Our citizen science program tests for plutonium and uranium particles in the estuary


• Understanding Low Level radiation risk    Video: Testing the Linear No Threshold (LNT) hazard model
