Agricultural production and consumption and the 2001 population census data in the Sydney statistical division

Abstract

The determination of dose to man in any consequence analysis either from accidental release of radionuclides or from continuous releases, requires data on the food pathway in the calculations of the total dose. The study of the consequence analysis from an accidental release of radionuclides from ANSTO in the Environmental Impact Survey (EIS, 1998) for the replacement research reactor (RRR) was based on the conservative estimate that 25% of the total eaten was grown within 15km of ANSTO (PPL, 1998). This same estimate and the dependent dose calculation from the food pathways were also used in the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) for the RRR.
