The Committee has continually kept under review the exposures of the world population resulting from releases to the environment of radioactive materials from man-made sources. Exposures from such sources reviewed in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3] included atmospheric nuclear testing,undergroundnucleartesting,nuclearweaponsfabrica-tion, nuclear power production, radioisotope production and uses, and accidents at various locations. New information on man-made environmental exposures is considered in this Annex.
2.
The testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere was the most significant cause of exposure of the world popula-tion to man-made environmental sources of radiation. The practice continued from 1945 to 1980. Although the testing has ceased and the Committee's assessment of global doses based on measured 90Sr deposition remains an accurate evaluation of the resulting exposures, particularly for long-lived radionuclides, new data on the yields of individual tests have been made available. These allow more detailed calculations of the dispersal of radionuclides throughout the world following the injection of debris into the atmosphere.
Estimates oftotal deposition and doses from individual radio-nuclides are re-evaluated in this Annex, which also considers exposurestoindividualswholived near the test sites. Previous estimatesofexposuresfromatmospherictestingwerebasedon accumulated average doses (dose commitments), but there is interest as well in the annual doses received by individuals.
Annual dose estimates are derived in this Annex.
3.
Following the cessation of atmospheric testing, nuclear weapons continued to be tested underground. Several further underground tests were conducted in 1998. Underground testing results only infrequently in releases of radionuclides to the environment and the exposure of individuals. Beyond the testing of nuclear weapons, the military fuel cycle, involving the production of weapons materials and the fabrication of the weapons, has also resulted in releases of radioactive materials to the environment. Information on exposures in areas surrounding the industrial sites of nuclear materials production and weapons fabrication are considered in this Annex. Both historical and contemporary data not previously reviewed by the Committee are presented.
4.
Nuclear power production continues in a number of countries, where it is an important component of electrical energygeneration. Rather complete monitoringand reporting of radionuclides released, especially from nuclear reactors, provide adequate data to allow analysing exposures from this source. Data on annual releases for 19901997 and analysis of longer-term trends are included in this Annex. Another continuing practice, radioisotope production and uses, involvesat the production stage rather trivial doses that can be only roughly estimated from the total size of the industry worldwide and some approximate figures on fractional releases of the radionuclides produced. The Committee previously assessed these exposures. The exposures of family membersofpatients whoreceived therapeutic treatmentswith 131I are considered in this Annex.
5.
Another source of exposures that may be considered to be man-made is the use of fuels or materials containing naturally occurring radionuclides. These are referred to as enhanced natural radiation exposures. It has been the practice of the Committee to evaluate these along with other exposures from natural radiation. These evaluations are included in Annex B, Exposures from natural radiation sources.
I.
TESTING AND PRODUCTION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS 6.
The testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, which took place from 1945 until 1980, involved un-restrained releases of radioactive materials directly to the environment and caused the largest collective dose thus far from man-made sources ofradiation. Previous assessments by the Committee of the total collective dose to the world population in the UNSCEAR 1982 and 1993 Reports [U3, U6] are complete and still valid. In the latter Report [U3],
transfer coefficients are given for the dose per unit release or per unit deposition density for over 20 radionuclides for the inhalation, ingestion, and external exposure pathways.
7.
The evaluation of doses to the hemispheric and world populations from this practice has been based on the 158
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 159 measured global deposition density of
- 90Sr, limited measurements of 95Zr deposition, and on estimated ratios of the deposition of other radionuclides to these. The annual depositions of 90Sr were measured in some detail during the years when testing in the atmosphere took place. This has meant that the collective doses could be evaluated more directly and with less uncertainty than would be the case if uncertain estimates of the amounts of radionuclides produced in the tests and their dispersion in the environment had to be relied on. However, lack of sufficient data for other, and especiallythe shorter-lived, radionuclides limitsthereliability of the estimated ratios to 95Zr and 90Sr.
8.
In recent years some further details of atmospheric nuclear testing have become available. In particular, the numbers and total yields of the explosions have been officially reported, providing reliable basic input data, and estimates are being made of the local doses to populations living in the vicinities of the test sites. This information is taken note of by the Committee to complete the historical record of this practice.
9.
In its previous assessments, the Committee emphasized the estimation of the collective doses from atmospheric nuclear testing and did not evaluate annual doses in detail.
Approximate magnitudes of annual doses were presented in the UNSCEAR1982Report [U6]. The unfolding ofcollective doses toderive annual doses is presented below in more detail toillustratethetimedependenceofcontributionstotheannual effective doses alreadyreceived by the world population from various radionuclides and to estimate the future annual effective doses from residual contamination.
10.
The production of nuclear weapons involves securing quantities of enriched uranium or plutonium for fission devices and of tritium and deuterium for fusion devices. The fuel cycle for military purposes is similar to that for nuclear electrical energy generation: uranium mining and milling, enrichment, fuel fabrication, reactor operation, and repro-cessing. Releases ofradionuclides mayoccur at all the various stages but particularly during reprocessing and plutonium separation. Initial information on exposures from the opera-tion of military fuel cycle installations was included in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3]. Some further data are summarized in this Chapter. Discharges and hence exposures were greatest in the early years when nuclear arsenals were being established.
A.
ATMOSPHERIC TESTS 1.
Number and yields of tests 11.
Further information on the number and yields of atmospheric nuclear tests has been reported by the countries that conducted the tests. In the UNSCEAR1993 Report [U3],
the number of tests by all countries was adjusted from 423 to 520, an increase of more than 20%. The total has since been modified slightly, andat the same time the estimated total and fission yields have been revised downwards.
12.
Compilations of data on atmospheric nuclear tests have been published within the last few years, first by the United States [D4], then by the former Soviet Union [M2],
the United Kingdom [J3], and France [D3]. Information was provided on the date of each test, its name or designa-tion, location, type, purpose, and the total explosive yield.
To verify production amounts of important globally dispersed fission radionuclides, it would also be necessary to know the fission yield of each test or series of tests.
13.
The data on atmospheric nuclear tests needed by the Committee for exposure evaluations are given in Table 1, and a summary for each country and each test site is provided in Table 2. The date, type, and total explosive yield of individual tests are as reported by the country. In a few cases, the total yields reported by the United States and the former Soviet Union were indefinite (low, sub megatonne, or within a designated range). Specific values for summations and analyses were estimated based on assumptions given in the footnotes to Table 1.
14.
Assumptions are also needed to estimate the fission and fusion yields of individual tests. Relatively low yield explosions may be assumed to be due to fission only, and very high yield explosions were thermonuclear tests with substantial fusion yields. For the purpose of obtaining values for Table 1, all tests smaller than 0.1 Mt total yield were assumed to be due only to fission, unless otherwise indicated. For tests in the range 0.55 Mt, fission yields averaging about 50%
have been reported to be representative [G4], and that value has been assumed here.
For tests in the range 0.10.5 Mt, a fission yield of 67% is assumed. There were 17 tests in the range 525 Mt. With no other indications available, fission yields of 33% were assumed in Table 1 for these tests. However, the fission yields of tests bythe United States were arbitrarilyadjusted to agree with the reported total fission yields for the years 1952, 1954, and 1958. The large variation in assumed fission yields for the high-yield tests conducted in these years is consistent with unofficial reports that the test of 31 October 1952 (Mike) had a relativelyhigh fission yield and with the confirmation that some high-yield tests had very high fission ratios [D7]. The largest test, 50 Mt, conducted by the former Soviet Union in 1961, was reported to have a fission yield of 3% and a fusion yield of 97% [M2].
Special design measures were taken to obtain such a high fusion yield.
15.
It would be desirable to have further information on the fission and fusion yields of atmospheric nuclear tests to substantiate the somewhat arbitraryassumptions that must be made, particularly for the tests of the former Soviet Union. Because the largest atmospheric nuclear tests
(4 Mt) made such substantial contribution to the fission, fusion, and total yields, they are listed separately in Table 3. These 25 tests account for nearly 66% of the total explosive yield of all tests and about 55% of the estimated fission yields. Tests with yields greater than 1 Mt accounted for over 90% of the total fission yield.

Some exceptions to the general fission/fusion assump-tions can be made for the atmospheric tests conducted by China. These tests occurred in the latter part of the test period, and the individual tests were relatively well separated in time. It was thus possible to obtain independent estimates of fission yields from the stratospheric monitoring of radionuclides that took place regularlythroughout this testing period [K7, K8, K9, K10, L7, L8, T5]. The estimates of fission yields from 90Sr and 95Zr stratospheric inventories include some inconsistencies and uncertainties, but the direct evidence is used in preference to the assumptions.
17.
Theannual number and yields ofatmospherictestsby all countries are summarized in Table 4 and illustrated in Figure I. The number of tests (Figure I, upper diagram) wasgreatest during19511958and19611962. Therewas a moratorium in 1959, which was largely observed in 1960, as well. The most active years of testing from the standpoint of the total explosive yields (Figure I, lower diagram) were 1962, 1961, 1958, and 1954. The total number of atmospheric tests by all countries was 543, and the total yield was 440 Mt. The fission yield of all atmospheric tests is estimated at present to be 189 Mt.

Dispersion and deposition of radioactive debris 18.
Nuclear weapons tests were conducted at various locations on and above the earth's surface, including mountings on towers, placement on barges on the ocean surface, suspensions from balloons, drops from airplanes, and high-altitude launchings by rockets. Depending on the location of the explosion (altitude and latitude) the radio-active debris entered the local, regional, or global environ-ment. For tests conducted on the earths surface, a portion of the radioactive debris is deposited at the site of the test (local fallout) and regionally up to several thousand km downwind (intermediate fallout). This fraction varies from test to test depending on themeteorological conditions, height ofthetest, the type of surface and surrounding material (water, soil, tower, balloon, etc.). For refractory radionuclides such as 95Zr and 144Ce, 50% ofthe debris is assumed tobe deposited locally in the immediate vicinity of the test site and a further 25% is deposited regionally[B9, B10, H5]. For volatile radionuclides such as 90Sr, 137Cs and 131I, 50% of the fission yield, on average, isassumeddepositedlocallyand regionally[P1]. The remainder of the debris and all of the debris from airbursts is widely dispersed in the atmosphere. Airbursts are defined as tests occurring at or above a height in metres of55 Y0.4, where Y is the total yield in kilotonnes [P1].

Depending on the conditions of a test, the radioactive debris can be initially partitioned or apportioned into various regions of the atmosphere. A basic compartment diagram representing atmospheric regions and the predominant atmospheric transport processes is shown in Figure II. This representation was developed to describe atmospheric dispersion and deposition of radioactive debris produced in atmospheric nuclear testing [B1, U6]. The atmosphere is divided into equatorial and polar regions (from 0 to 30 and 30 to 90 latitude, respectively). The troposphere height is variable with latitude and season, but for modelling purposes it is assumed to be at an average altitude of 9 km in the polar region and 17 km in the equatorial region. The lower stratosphere is assumed to extend to 17 km and 24 km, respectively, in the two regions and the upper stratosphere to 50 km in both regions. Only a few tests injected material above the upper stratosphere, designated the high atmosphere, which extends toseveral hundred kilometres and includes the remainder of the region from which debris will eventually be deposited on the earth's surface.
Figure II. Atmospheric regions and the predominant atmospheric transport processes.
20.
Apportionment of debris in the atmosphere is based on the stabilization heights of cloud formation following the explosion. Empirical values derived from a number of observations are given in Table 5 [P1]. These results were used for the earlier estimates of fallout production from atmospheric testing that were quoted in the UNSCEAR 1982 Report [U6]. Adjustments can now be made according to the revised values of total yields and the fission yield estimates given in Table 1. The partitioned yield estimates are included in Tables 1 and 2, and annual injections into the various atmosphericregions are summarized in Table 6. The estimate ofthe relative fractions of debris injected intothe stratosphere and troposphere for a particular test with yield less than severalmegatonnesissomewhat uncertainforseveralreasons.
The empirical estimates were only available for equatorial tests and were highlyvariable [F5]. Values for polar latitudes are based on meteorological considerations [F5], and the height of the troposphere varies seasonally.
21.
Partitioning of debris into atmospheric regions was initially formulated for the equatorial and polar regions.
Injections from the Chinese test site at Lop Nor (40N) indicate that a temperate region formulation would also be useful. This was not apparent for earlier tests at the Nevada test site (37N) or the Semipalatinsk test site (52N) because there was relatively little or no stratospheric input from tests at these sites. Releases from temperate sites can be partitioned by averaging the equatorial and polar results. Basically, this averaging procedure reduces the input to the upper stratosphericregion comparedwith thepartitioningfor apolar release. Details of the assumptions, justified by the empirical nature of the modelling, are specified in the footnote to Table 6.
22.
With the indication of the type of test given in Table 1, the apportionment of fission yield corresponding to local and more widespread tropospheric and strato-spheric portions has been made in Tables 1, 2 and 4. The tropospheric and stratospheric injections listed in these Tables are for volatile radionuclides (e.g. 90Sr, 137Cs) and do not reflect the additional local and regional deposition that occurred for refractory radionuclides (e.g. 95Zr, 144Ce).
23.
As indicated in the summaryTables 2 and 4, the locally and regionally deposited debris amounts to about 29 Mt (for volatile elements). Therefore, about 160 Mt is estimated to

have been widely dispersed, contributing to global fallout.
This latter value, inferred from yield information, may be compared with the value of 155 Mt derived from global 90Sr measurements (604 PBq deposited worldwide divided by the production estimate of 3.9 PBq Mt1). Since about 2%3% of 90Sr decayed before deposition, the total dispersed amount (injection into atmosphere) inferred from measurements is also about 160 Mt. The fission yield estimates thus provide much better agreement with the measured deposition (corresponding to 155 Mt) than the previous fission yield estimates of 189 Mt [B1, U6]. The estimate of the total debris deposited locallyand regionallyis somewhat uncertain due to the likely high variations from test to test, however, as seen, this component is a small fraction of the debris injected into the global atmosphere, and thus this uncertainty will have only a small impact on the uncertainty in the total global 90Sr deposition.
24.
From extensive monitoring following individual tests and for the entire period of dispersion and deposition, con-siderable information was gained on the movement and mixing processes in the atmosphere. The radioactive debris served as a tracer material. Aerosols in the atmosphere descend bygravityat the highest altitudes and are transported with thegeneral air movementsat lower levels. Eddydiffusion causes irregular migration of air masses in the general directions indicated in Figure II in the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere. The circular air flow pattern in the troposphere at lower latitudes is termed Hadley cell circulation. These cells increase or decrease in size and shift latitudinally with season. The balanced pattern shown in Figure II is that for the months of March, April, May, and September, October, November. The mean residence time of aerosols in the lower stratosphere ranges from 3 to12 months in the polar regions and 8 to 24 months in the equatorial regions. The specific seasonal values, determined from empirical fitting to fallout radionuclide measurements, are indicated in Figure III. The most rapid removal occurs during the spring months. Removal half-times to the next lower region from the upper atmosphere are 6 to 9 months and from the high atmosphere, 24 months was found to be represen-tative [B1]. A removal half-time of infinity () in Figure III means that no transfer takes place via the particular pathway during that season of the year.

The numbers in parentheses are the removal half-times (in months) for the yearly quarters in the following order:
March-April-May, June-July-August, September-October-November, December-January-February.
25.
An empirical atmospheric compartmental model based on Figures II and III had been used to estimate surface air concentrations and deposition of long-lived fallout radionuclides starting with estimated fission production yields of each test [B1]. However, since rather complete measurements of 90Sr in air and deposition were available and there were uncertainties in the reported fission yields, this modelling work was not pursued.
Improved estimates of fission yields changes this situation and allows the possibilityofexamining in greater detail the deposition of other radionuclides, such as 106Ru and 144Ce, and of projecting the measurement records beyond levels

Estimates can also be made for short-lived radionuclides such as 95Zr, however the uncertainty will be greater, since most of the deposition from these radionuclides is from highlyuncertain fractions of the total debris that were injected into the troposphere or deposited locally and regionally.
26.
The parameters of the empirical model were set by comparisons with data on tracer radionuclides released in some of the tests at specific times, such as 185W, 109Cd, and 54Mn, as well as with the longer-term records of 90Sr. The fit of the calculation to the 90Sr data in surface air is shown in Figure IV for the northern hemisphere (upper diagram) and for the southern hemisphere (lower diagram). With the available estimates of fission yields of individual atmospheric tests, the model matches rather well the monthly data that show seasonal variations in the con-centrations. The model indicates the total 90Sr inventoryin the hemispheric troposphere. This has been converted to a concentration with use of a volume parameter of 0.0001 Bq m3 per PBq, empiricallydetermined from the 90Sr data for mid-latitudes [B1]. Annual average calculated and measured concentrations of 90Sr in surface air of the mid-latitude regions are summarized in Table 7.
Figure IV. Strontium-90 concentration in air in the mid-latitude regions.
The measurements averaged over several sites are compared with results of the atmospheric model calculation.
27.
Measurements of 90Sr in surface air were made routinely at a number of locations around the world. A global surfaceair monitoring network was maintained by the United States Naval Research Laboratory from 1957 to 1962 [L6] and continued by the Environmental Measure-ments Laboratory of the United States Department of Energyfrom 1963 to1983 [F4]. After 1983, the levels were undetectable with the methods used. The representative measured concentrations of 90Sr in air shown in Figure IV are derived from averaging the results of several sites in the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres (see footnotes to Table 7).
28.
Some slight deviations between the measured and calculated results of 90Sr in air may be due to inaccurate estimation of injection amounts or of the initial parti-tioning of debris in the atmosphere or to variations in the measured results or in the meteorology that may occur

10 from year to year. Furthermore, the measured results at the chosen representative mid-latitude sites may not be representative of the entire hemisphere as calculated from the model, particularly for years with relatively large tropospheric injections from low-latitude test sites. Debris injectedintotheequatorial troposphereat lowlatitudes will likely remain in a low latitude band due to the Hadley circulation patterns, as illustrated in Figure II. Some deviations for tests conducted at high-latitude sites have also occurred, for example the rapid depletion of the polar stratosphere in 1959 following the 1958 Soviet tests was indicated bythe measurements. Alsonotable is the absence of a peak in 1962 in the southern hemisphere following injections into the troposphere and stratosphere of the equatorial region from tests in that year. Further deviations occur beyond 1980, when the low levels reached by the measuredconcentrationsbecomeuncertainandsomeenhance-ment from resuspension of ground deposits may become relatively more important.
29.
Long-term monitoring of 90Sr deposition based on precipitation sampling was conducted with global networks operated by the Environmental Measurements Laboratory of the United States [H1] and the Harwell Laboratory of the United Kingdom [P3]. Quite comparable results were obtained. An earlier monitoring network based on gummed-film detectors at more than a hundred stations in many countries was operated from 1952 to 1959 by the Health and SafetyLaboratory,whichbecametheEnvironmentalMeasure-ments Laboratory, in the United States [H8]. The results of deposition densities at individual sites have been averaged within latitude bands and multiplied by the area of the bands to obtain estimates of the hemispheric and global deposition amounts. The annual results are shown in Figure V for the northern hemisphere (upper diagram) and southern hemi-sphere (lower diagram) and are compared to the estimates derived from the atmospheric model. The agreement is quite close until the early 1980s, when uncertainties in the measurements began to increase.

30.
Using the atmospheric model and the estimated fission yields of individual tests, it is possible to distinguish the contributions of the test programmes of individual countries to the annual deposition of 90Sr. This is illustrated in Figure VI. In the northern hemisphere the contributions from the test programme of the United States dominated before

1958. From 1959 until 1967 the test programme ofthe former Soviet Union contributed the greatest amounts to annual 90Sr deposition, and from 1968 until 1988 the deposition was primarilyfrom the Chinese tests. In the southern hemisphere, theannual deposition was greatest from the tests ofthe United States before 1964 except for 1957 and 1958, when the equatorial tests of the United Kingdom took place. Sub-sequently, the greatest contributors to annual deposition were the former Soviet Union during 19651967, France during 19681976, and China during 19771988. Owing to slower removal ofdebrisfrom inventoriesin thehighatmosphereand upper stratosphere, the deposition of the test programmes of the United States and the former Soviet Union predominate again in the 1990s, although at levels too low to be measurable.
31.
A summary of the annual hemispheric totals of measured and calculated 90Sr deposition is given in Table 7.
The deposition rate of 90Sr was generallygreater bya factor of about 5 in the northern hemisphere from 1953 to 1965 and from 1977 to 1983. From 1967 to 1977 and since 1985, the fallout rates in both hemispheres have been roughlythe same.
The model results indicate a total global deposition of 610 PBq. Using the measurement results preferentially, when available, the global deposition amount of 90Sr is unchanged, although the measurements indicate a slightly smaller proportion of the total deposition in the northern hemisphere thanindicatedbythecalculations.Thepreviousestimateofthe total deposition based on measurement results and measured cumulative deposition up to 1958 was 604 PBq. The calculated results indicate a decay of about 2%3% of the injected amount of 90Sr prior to deposition (injected amount 160.5 Mt x 3.9 PBq Mt1 = 626 PBq; deposited amount 610 PBq or 97.4% of the injected amount), corresponding to an averageresidence time ofdebris in the atmosphere ofabout 1.1 years. The measured result of 604 PBq suggests an average residence time of about 1.3 years. The global cumulative deposit reached a maximum in 19671972 of 460 PBq (Table 7). Bythe year 2000, this will havedecayed to 250 PBq.
32.
Since most of the atmospheric tests were conducted in the northern hemisphere, the deposition amounts are greater there than in the southern hemisphere. Because of the preferential exchange of air between the stratosphere and troposphere in the mid-latitudes ofthe hemisphere and the air
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 166 circulation patterns in the troposphere, there is enhanced deposition in the temperate regions and decreased deposition (by a factor of about 2) in the equatorial and polar regions.
Thelatitudinal distribution of 90Srdepositiondeterminedfrom the global measurements is given in Table 8. This latitudinal variation is only valid for long-lived radionuclides, for which most ofthe deposition was from debris originallyinjected into thestratosphere. As the half-lifeoftheradionuclidedecreases, a larger fraction of the fallout was from injections into the troposphere,sincelargerfractionsofthestratosphericamounts decayduring the relativelylong stratospheric residence times.
The variation with latitude for these radionuclides thus will depend more on thelatitudeofinjection. (The model indicates that about 90% of the deposited 90Sr is from stratospheric debris, while for 95Zr only about one third is due to stratospheric debris and for 131I, less than 5%).
33.
With demonstrated good agreement for 90Sr obtainable with the empirical atmospheric model, the concentrations in air and the deposition ofother long-lived radionuclides can be calculated. Previously, estimatesweremadefrom ratiosto 90Sr values. The atmospheric model can take better account of decay prior to deposition and can start with the fission production values that are independent of estimates for other radionuclides. The model can be very usefully applied for short-lived radionuclides that could not be adequately monitored at the time the testing occurred. However, because the deposition of these short-lived radionuclides is so dependent on the fractions injected into the troposphere and the amounts of local and intermediate fallout, the model deposition estimates are less reliable, and the results need to be adjusted to agree with available data.
34.
The radionuclides produced and globally dispersed in atmospheric nuclear testing that are important from a dosi-metric point of view are listed in Table 9. These are the radionuclides that were also considered in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report (Annex B, Table 1) [U3]. For fission radio-nuclides, the production per unit energy released in the tests assumes 1.45 1026 fissions Mt1. Multiplying by the fission yield and the decay constant gives the normalized activity production. For radionuclides produced in fusion reactions or by activation primarilyin thermonuclear tests (3H, 14C, 54Mn, 55Fe), the normalized production can be estimated from measured inventories in the environment and the associated total fusion energy of all tests. The values for 54Mn and 55Fe are those quoted in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3], which mayyet be adjusted totake into account better estimates ofthe inventoriesand thetotal fusion energyoftests. Theproduction of transuranic radionuclides has been inferred from ratios to 90Sr, as measured in deposition. These values are thus un-changed from previous estimates [U3]. The total production of radionuclides in atmospheric testing associated with the globallydisperseddebris(excludinglocal deposition at thetest sites and regional deposition) and based on revised estimates of fission and fusion energies is given in the last column of Table 9. The fission yields in Table 9, which are assumed to be representative of all atmospheric tests, are those for thermonuclear tests, since these contributed over 90% of the debris. The fission yields for 89Sr and 125Sb has been revised slightlyfrom those previouslyused [U3], based on the produc-tion ratios for thermonuclear tests reported by Hicks [H6].
35.
The input data to the atmospheric model for the calculationofworldwidedeposition ofradionuclidesproduced in atmospheric testing are the fission and fusion yields of individual tests (Table 1), the normalized production of radionuclides (Table 9), and the atmospheric partitioning assumptions (Tables 5 and 6). Because atmospheric transport is seasonal, it is necessary to work with monthly values of input and to calculate monthly deposition. For short-lived radionuclides it is necessary to use daily values to adequately account for decay before deposition. The total annual deposi-tion results are presented in Table 10 for each hemisphere and for theworld. Becausethermonuclear fission yieldswereused, the estimates for years with mostly low-yield tests are somewhat less certain, since the fission yields for low-yield tests for some radionuclides vary significantly depending on the mixture of fissile material used.
36.
Only for 90Sr are there adequate measurements of hemispheric deposition that could be used in place of the calculated results. Limited data are available for 89Sr from the sampling network of the United States [H7]. Some data on other radionuclides are also available for a few sites during particular time periods. There are onlyminor discrepancies in calculated and measured results for 90Sr, but the measured resultsareusedpreferentiallyin Table 10, i.e. 19581985. An important component of the residual global contamination from atmospheric testing is 137Cs. Because of the similarity in the half-life of 137Cs (30.07 a) and 90Sr (28.78 a), deposition occurs according to the ratio of fission yields and (inversely) half-lives: 137Cs/90Sr = 1.5. Thus, the estimates of 137Cs in Table 10 are based on this ratio times the measured 90Sr deposition for the period 19581985. The estimates for 144Ce, 106Ru and
- 125Sb, 54Mn and 55Fe are based solely on the calculated results. The calculated results for the refractory radionuclides, 95Zr, 141Ce, 144Ce, 54Mn, and 55Fe take into account the higher local and intermediate deposition discussed earlier. The estimates of annual deposition of 95Zr, 91Y, 89Sr, 103Ru, 141Ce, 140Ba, and 131I have been normalized to the total depositions reported at the bottom of Table 10. The estimates of total deposition are based on comparisons with available data, production ratios, and relative half-lives. The ratios of total deposition for these radionuclides to 90Sr differ somewhat from those reported in the UNSCEAR1993Report
[U3], because of revised assessment of the available data as well as an adjustment to account for a greater proportion of deposition at low latitudes than assumed earlier.
37.
A basic indication of deposition amounts determined by measurements and needed in dose calculations is the deposition density, the activity of deposited radionuclides per unit ground surface area. Global measurements of 90Sr are related to the areas of the 10 latitude bands in which the measurements were made. These areas are given in Table 8.
From the evaluated fractional deposition in each band, the total hemisphericdeposition is apportionedandthedeposition densities determined. By weighting these results with the populations in the bands, the population-weighted deposition

-2 densityfor the hemisphere is obtained. With 89% oftheworld population in the northern hemisphere and 11% in the southern hemisphere, the hemispheric results may be weighted accordingly to obtain the world average deposition density. This latitudinal apportionment is valid only for the long-lived radionuclides for which most of the deposition originated from debris injected into the stratosphere. For short-lived radionuclides, for which most of the deposition was from debris injected into the troposphere, adjustments must be made to account for the increased deposition at low latitudes resulting from tests of the United States and the United Kingdom in the Pacific. Since the population in the northern hemisphere is about equally divided between latitudes greater and less than 30, an increase in the relative fraction of the deposition below 30 has only a small impact (about 10%) on the population-weighted deposition density.
However, because 86% of the population of the southern hemisphere lives between 030 latitude and almost all of the debris injected into the southern hemisphere troposphere was at latitudes less than 30, the value to convert from total deposition topopulation-weighteddeposition densityfor short-lived radionuclides (half-lives less than 30 days) for months in which the input was primarily from United States tests in the Pacific would be 6.7 rather than 3.74 (see Table 8). An intermediate weight of 5.7 based on 75% of the debris from tropospheric injections and 25% from stratospheric injections would be more appropriate for radionuclideswith half-lives of about 30 to 100 days.
Figure VII. Caesium-137 deposition density in the northern and southern hemispheres calculated from fission production amounts with the atmospheric model.
38.
The hemispheric and world average cumulative deposi-tion densities are given in Table 11. The monthly deposition results from the atmospheric model have been averaged over the year. The model accounts for decay during the month of deposition as well as after deposition. The total deposition for long-lived radionuclides (half-life >100 d) in the hemisphere is multiplied by the parameters in Table 8 (4.65 and 3.74 Bq m2 per PBq in the northern and southern hemisphere, respectively) to obtain the population-weighted deposition densities of Table 11. For radionuclides with half-lives between 30 and 100 d, and <30 d, factors of 5.7 and 6.7 Bq m2 per PBq, respectively, were used for the southern hemisphere. A value of 4.0 was used for the northern hemisphere for all short-lived radionuclides. The world average is the population-weighted sum of the hemispheric values:0.89timestheaveragepopulation-weighteddeposition densityofthenorthernhemisphereplus0.11timestheaverage population-weighted deposition density of the southern hemisphere. For the long-lived radionuclides, the deposition densitiesinparticular latitudinal regionsmaybeobtainedwith use of the factor given in the last column of Table 8. For example, the deposition density for 90Sr in the 4050latitude region of the northern hemisphere is 1.5 times the northern hemisphere average value.
39.
An important component of the residual radiation backgroundcausedbydepositionofradionuclidesproducedin atmospheric testing is that of 137Cs. Calculated deposition densities of 137Cs in various latitude regions are shown in Figure VII. These levels were perturbed by additional deposition from the Chernobyl accident in 1986, especiallyin European countries.
40.
The world average deposition densities ofradionuclides produced in atmospheric testing are illustrated in Figure VIII.
Considerable variations are noted for the short-lived radio-nuclides, and these have by now decayed to negligible levels.
When the tests were taking place, the deposition densities of several short-lived radionuclides, especially 144Ce, 106Ru, and 95Zr, were highest, but since 1965, 137Cs and 90Sr dominate in the residual cumulative deposit.
41.
The summations ofthe annual deposition densities of Table 11 give the integrated deposition densities (Bq a m2) for the radionuclides. Only for 90Sr and 137Cs are there significant contributions beyond the year 2000. The total in Table 11 extended for all time (1945 to infinity) may also be obtained from the total deposited amounts (Table 10) multiplied by the mean lives of the radionuclides (1/ =
half-life ÷ ln2) and the appropriate population-weighted conversion factor from Table 8. This demonstrates the consistencyof the annual calculation of deposition and the cumulative deposition density.

Annual doses from global fallout 42.
The Committee provided a rough indication of the average annual doses to the world population from fallout radionuclides in the UNSCEAR 1982 Report [U6]. For 19581979, the maximum dose rate was estimated to be 0.14 mSv a1 in 1963, and it had decreased by almost an order of magnitude by 1979. Using available empirical models, the annual doses can be estimated in much more detail. The results of this exercise are presented in this Section.
43.
The basic input to dose calculations from fallout radionuclides has been the measured deposition density of 90Sr. The measured annual hemispheric deposition amounts for representative mid-latitude sites are listed in Table 7. The measurements, which began in 1958, were continued until 1985. By then the stratospheric inventory from atmospheric tests was largely depleted. Some of the monitoring sites were affected by the Chernobyl accident in 1986. Subsequently, a low, constant level of deposition has been measured that reflects resuspended soil particles [A4, I5]. Longer-lived radionuclides in global fallout other than 90Sr have also been monitored, but they have been present in relatively constant ratios to 90Sr. For short-lived radionuclides (half-life <100 days), decay before deposition is significant. For these radionuclides, the pattern of deposition was previously taken to be that of 95Zr, with the magnitude estimated from the average value of the ratio determined by available measurements. The empirical atmospheric model with input from individual nuclear tests now allows the time course of depositionofallradionuclidesproducedinatmospherictesting to be determined in greater detail and with better general accuracy.
44.
Thegeneralproceduresfor derivingdoseestimatesfrom the measured or calculated deposition densities of radio-nuclides are presented in Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies. It is only necessary to summarize here the values of transfer coefficients needed for the annual dose evaluationsfor thevariouspathways: external, inhalation, and ingestion. The transfer coefficients P25 used to evaluate the effective dose committed by unit deposition density of a radionuclide were given in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report (Annex B, Table 8) [U3].
45.
Of the radionuclides contributing to external exposure, only 137Cs has a half-life greater than a few years. For this radionuclide the depth distribution in soil has been taken to correspond to a relaxation length of 3 cm. Previous assess-ments of external doses from fallout assumed a plane source distribution for the other radionuclides [U3, U4]. This assumption is now altered toprovide a more realistic basis for the dose estimation. A relaxation length of 3 cm is also used for the other long-lived radionuclides (half-lives >100 days).
For radionuclides with half-lives between 30 and 100 days, a relaxation length of 1 cm is more appropriate. For the other short-lived radionuclides (half-lives <30 days), a relaxation length of 0.1 cm is assumed rather than a plane source, to account for ground roughness. The chosen relaxation lengths are consistent with the values used in the UNSCEAR 1988 Report [U5] to estimate external exposures from the Chernobyl accident and more adequately reflect the observed penetration of the radionuclides into the soil with time. The parameters required to calculate the annual effective doses from external irradiation are summarized in Table 12.
46.
For the external irradiation pathway, the effective dose rate per unit deposition density is derived by multiplying the dose rate in air per unit deposition density by the conversion factor 0.7, which relates the dose rate in air to the effective dose, and the occupancy-shielding factor, 0.2 fractional time outdoors + 0.8 fractional time indoors x 0.2 building shielding = 0.36. The average annual effective dose is then obtained bymultiplying bythe average annual deposition density.
47.
The values of annual doses due to external exposure from radionuclides produced in atmospheric testing are given in Table 13. The components of the world average

The short-lived radionuclide 95Zr, with its decay product 95Nb, was the main contributor to external exposure during active testing. Of less significance were 106Ru, 54Mn, and 144Ce. Beginning in 1966, 137Cs became the most important contributor, and presently it is the only radionuclide contributing to continuing external exposure from deposited radionuclides.
48.
Several radionuclides contribute to exposure via the ingestion pathway. They are listed, along with the transfer coefficients, in Table 12. For the short-lived radionuclides (131I, 140Ba, 89Sr), the exposures occur within weeks or months following deposition. For annual dose rates, it is sufficient to assume that the exposures occur evenly over the mean life of the radionuclide. The transfer coefficientsrelatingdoserate to deposition density are obtained by dividing the transfer coefficients for the committed dose [U3] by the radioactive mean lives. These are the entries in Table 12.
49.
In previous UNSCEAR assessments, exposures via the ingestion pathway from the longer-lived radionuclides 90Sr and 137Cs have been derived from empirical transfer models applied tothe measured deposition densityof 90Sr (the 137Cs to 90Sr ratio of 1.5 is used to derive the deposition density of 137Cs). The parameters of the models were evaluated from regression fits to the measured concentrations of these radionuclidesin diet andthehumanbody.Thesemodelsapply to continuing deposition throughout the year, as occurred during fallout deposition. Thus, the seasonal variability in transfers to diet is averaged out in a single annual value.
50.
The model used to describe the transfer of 90Sr or 137Cs from deposition to diet is of the form where Cd,i is the concentration of the radionuclide in a food component d or in the total diet in the year i due to the deposition density rate Fi in the year i, Fi1 in the previous year, and the sum of the deposition density rates in all previous years, reduced by exponential decay. The exponential decay with decay constant reflects both radioactive decay and environmental loss of the radionuclide. The coefficients bi and the parameter are determined by regression analysis of measured deposition and diet data. The coefficients bi represent the transfer per unit annual deposition in the first year (b1), primarily from direct deposition, in the second year (b2), from lagged use of stored food and uptake from the surface deposit, and in subsequent years (b3), from transfer via root uptake from the accumulated deposit.
51.
The transfer from diet to the human body (bone) for 90Sr is described by a two-component model:
where Cb,i is the concentration of 90Sr in bone in the year i, c is a coefficient for short-term retention, and g is a coefficient for longer-term retention, with removal governedbythe decay constant b. The parameters c, g, and b are determined by regression fits to monitoring data.
52.
The retention of 137Cs in the body is relatively short-term (retention half-time of around 100 days). The annual dose per unit intake can therefore be expressed by a single transfer coefficient, P34, which applies to the year of intake.
The annual doses from 90Sr and 137Cs in the body are evaluated using the transfer coefficient P45. The values of the transfer coefficients used in calculating the annual effective dose from ingestion of 90Sr and 137Cs, derived from long-term monitoring, are given in Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies.
53.
Further exposure via ingestion of longer-lived radio-nuclides occursfrom 55Feandthetransuranium elements. The dosescommittedfromthetransuraniumradionuclidesarevery small, and the contributions to annual doses are negligible. A transfer model does not exist for 55Fe. Its half-life is only 2.73 years; therefore, it is assumed, as for the short-lived radio-nuclides, that the dose-rate transfer coefficient is equal to the commitment transfer coefficient [U3] divided by the radio-active mean life. This result is entered in Table 12.
54.
The components of annual dose via the ingestion pathway from radionuclides produced in atmospheric testing are listed in Table 14 and illustrated in Figure IX (middle diagram). During active testing, 137Cs was the most significant component, owing to its more immediate transfer to diet and delivery of dose. Because of the longer-term, continuing transfer of 90Sr to diet and its longer retention in the body, this radionuclide became the most important contributor to dose beginning in 1967. The short-lived radionuclideshavebeen relativelyinsignificantcontributorsto ingestion exposure (see Figure IX).
55.
For the inhalation pathway, exposures depend on the concentrations of radionuclides in air, but because of the association between concentrations in air and deposition densities through the deposition velocity, the transfer coefficients for the dose from inhalation can be given in terms of the measured deposition densities of the radionuclides.
These transfer coefficients, P25, were given in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report (Annex B, Table 8) [U3] and are repeated here in Table 12. These are the committed doses per unit intake.
The dose from inhalation can be assumed delivered in the same year that the deposition occurred. Subsequent exposures from resuspension are accounted for in the measured air concentrations and the derived deposition velocity, and although these exposures may continue for a few more years, including all of the exposure in the year of initial deposition does not introduce much error.
56.
The estimates of annual doses from the inhalation of radionuclides produced in atmospheric testing are given in Table 15, and several of the components are illustrated in Figure IX (lower diagram). Important contributors to

One further contribution to annual exposures comes from the globally dispersed radionuclides 3H and 14C. In both cases, there is no external exposure and only negligible exposure from inhalation. Exposure arises most entirely from the ingestion pathway. Global models have been formulated to describe the dispersion and long-term behaviours of these radionuclides in the environment.
Estimates of the annual doses from 3H and 14C produced in atmospheric testing are included in Table 14 and illustrated in Figure X.
Figure X. Worldwide average dose (mainly from ingestion pathway) from globally dispersed 3H and 14C.

The annual doses from tritium have been evaluated using the seven-compartment model presented by the United States National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) [N1]. With volumes and transfer rates applicable for the hydrological cycle of the world and intake of water by humans assumed to be 33%
from the atmosphere, 53% from surface fresh waters, 13.3% from groundwater, and 0.7% from ocean surface water (through fish) [N1], the dose per unit release is 0.06 nGyPBq1. Further details of the model are presented in Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies.
59.
The annual doses from 14C have been derived using the multi-compartment model described in Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies. The estimates are only approxi-mate, since widespread, immediate mixing in large regions is assumed in the model formulation. To compensate for this, the hemispheric values have been adjusted to an initial ratio of 4 to 1 in the northern and southern hemispheres, reflecting thedeposition pattern oflonger-lived radionuclides. Thisratio was maintained through 1970 and then reduced uniformly to a ratio of 1 to 1 by the year 2000, representing assumed completion of uniform mixing throughout the world. This procedure provides more realistic estimates of doses in the hemispheres, but does not affect the estimated global average.
The average annual global effective dose from 14C produced in atmospheric nuclear testing was at a maximum, 7.7 Sv, in 1964 and has decreased by a factor of 4 since that time. The dose would be estimated to be somewhat less when account is taken of the input of stable carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuel burning, which dilutes the 14C.

The estimates of the total annual effective doses from radionuclides produced in atmospheric nuclear testing are summarized in Table 16, and the world average contributions from the main pathways are illustrated in Figure XI. These results are for the hemispheric-and world-population-weighted averages of deposition of fallout radionuclides. The doses in more specific regions of the world may be obtained by adjusting to the latitudinal distribution of deposition determined from measurement of 90Sr (Table 8). In the temperate zones (4050), the annual doses from long-lived radionuclides are higher than the hemispheric averages by factors of 1.5 in the northern hemisphere and 1.65 in the southern hemisphere. For the short-lived radionuclides (see paragraph 37), the distribution with latitude is more uniform in the northern hemisphere, while the doses in the temperate zonesofthe southern hemisphere are about one thirdlessthan the hemispheric average. The hemispheric average annual dose was highest in 1963 in the northern hemisphere (0.13 mSv) and in 1962 in the southern hemisphere (0.06 mSv).
61.
The estimated world average annual dose from atmospheric nuclear testing was highest in 1963 (0.11 mSv) and subsequently declined to less than 0.006 mSv in the 1990s. External exposure generally made the highest contributionstoannual doses, when theannual doses from 14C and 3H are not included, initially by short-lived radionuclides and subsequently by 137Cs. Both external and ingestion exposure peaked in 1962. The annual doses at present are due almost equally to external irradiation (53%) and ingestion exposures (47%). The dose from 14C (30% of the total) now exceeds that from ingestion of other radionuclides. The doses yet to be delivered at future times are also indicated in Table 16. The summation of annual doses for all time defines the dose commitment, which is the dose quantity previously evaluated in UNSCEAR assessments of the exposure from atmospheric nuclear testing [U3]. With use of the model calculations, the revised external dose coefficients, and the re-evaluation of the total deposition of short-lived radionuclides, the present dose estimates for some radionuclides differ slightly from the previous assessment, although the current estimated total effective dose commitment to the world population, 3.5 mSv, is little different from the result given in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3], 3.7 mSv.
4.
Local and regional exposures 62.
Since atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted in relatively remote areas, exposures of local populations did not contribute significantly to the world collective dose from this practice. Nevertheless, those individuals living downwind of the test sites received greater-than-average doses. In addition, individuals who might now or in the future occupy contaminated areas of the former test sites could receive exposures through external or internal pathways. Efforts are being made to evaluate these sites to guide possible rehabilitation and resettlement, and work is continuing to reconstruct the exposure conditions and to estimate the local and regional doses that were received at the time of the tests. Available information was presented in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3] and is summarized here in Table 17. Further results, although still not systematic and complete, are presented in this Section. It will be necessary to add details as the dose reconstruction efforts progress.
63.
The locations of several test sites are shown in Figures XII, XIII, and XIV. The areas within a few hundred kilometres of the site are generally designated as local and thosewithin a fewthousand kilometres, regional. Distancesof 500 km and 1,000 km from the test sites are delineated in the figures for reference purposes. The exposed populations were generally only those living in downwind, generally eastward directions.
(a)
Nevada test site 64.
The Nevada test site in the United States was the location for 86 atmospheric nuclear tests: 83 tests were conducted from 1951 to 1958, and 3 more tests were conducted in 1962. Additional cratering tests also injected debrisintothe atmosphere [N10]. Local areaswereaffected by relatively few tests, but for those few tests they were much more affected than more distant areas of the United States, which received less deposition and exposure but were more evenly affected by a larger number of tests. The external exposures to local populations were estimated at the time of testing to be low; however, public concern about the health impact of the exposures grew. As a consequence, rather detailed dose reconstruction projects were undertaken in the 1980s.
65.
Estimates of external exposures from atmospheric tests at the Nevada test site were reported by Anspaugh et al. [A1, A3]. Results were derived from survey meter and film badge measurements for 300 communities in the local areas
(<300 km) around the test site in Nevada and in southwestern Utah. The distribution of individual cumulative exposures is given in Table 18. The effective dose exceeded 3 mSv in 20%
of the population of180,000. The highest effective doses were in therange6090mSv,andthepopulation-weightedaverage value was 2.8 mSv [A1]. The exposures resulted primarily from short-lived gamma-emitters (half-lives <100 days).
The estimates were based on outdoor occupancy of 50%
and a building shielding factor of0.5; the usual UNSCEAR assumptions are 20% and 0.2, respectively. Most of the exposures resulted from relatively few events; 90% of the cumulative collective dose of 470 man Sv resulted from 17 events, the most significant being test Harry on 19 May 1953 (180 man Sv), test Bee on 22 March 1955 (70 man Sv), and test Smoky on 31 August 1957 (50 man Sv)
[A3].
Collective doses that included areas further downwind, encompassing all ofNevada andUtah and parts ofseveral other western states, were estimated to have been even greater than for the local area, about 10,000 man Sv, primarilydue to the exposure of the large population areas around Salt Lake City [A7, B9]. All of the United States received some fallout from Nevada weapons tests [B10].
Beck and Krey [B11] reported cumulative doses from external exposure averaged about 1 mSv to persons living in the midwest and east of the country.

Internal exposuresresultingfrom atmospherictesting at the Nevada test site have been estimated from deposition measurements and an environmental transfer model [K2, W2]. Absorbed doses to organs and tissues from internal exposure were substantially less than those from external exposure, with the exception of the thyroid, in which 131I from ingestion of milk contributed relatively higher doses.
Estimates of absorbed doses in the thyroid of 3,545 locally exposed individuals ranged from 0 to 4.6 Gy; the average was 98 mGy and the median 25 mGy [T4]. Five individuals received absorbed doses greater than 3 Gy, and all ofthem drank milk from a family-owned goat [T4]. The collective absorbed dose to the thyroid of the population of states in the western United States was estimated to be 140,000 man Gy [A7]. An extensive study has been completed by the National Cancer Institute of the United States of thyroid doses in all counties of the United States from 131I deposition following the atmospheric tests in Nevada [B6, N10]. The individual thyroid doses ranged up to 100 mGy in local areas. For the entire population of the United States, the estimate was 20 mGy, with a collective absorbed dose of 4 106 man Gy. Although not involving exposure, it shouldbenoted that plutonium migration from an underground nuclear test conducted at the Nevada Test Site was detected 30 years following the test in a ground water monitoring well 1.3 km from the test location [K12].
In this veryarid region, no migration had been anticipated.
Theauthorsconcludedthat colloid-facilitatedtransport was implicated in the field findings.
(b)
Bikini, Enewetak test sites 67.
An extensive nuclear test programme was conducted by the United States at locations in the Pacific (Table 1).
The test resulting in the most significant local exposures was the thermonuclear test Bravo on 28 February 1954 at Bikini Atoll. Unexpectedly heavy fallout occurred in the local area eastward of the atoll (Figure XII). Within a few hours of the explosion, fallout particles descended on Rongelap and Ailinginae atolls, 200 km from Bikini, exposing 82 persons. The Japanese fishing vessel Lucky Dragon was also in this area, and 23 fishermen were exposed. Farther east, exposures occurred at Rongerik Atoll (28 United States servicemen) and Utrik Atoll (159 persons). These individuals were evacuated within a few days of the initial exposures.
Figure XII. Bikini and Enewetak test sites.
The inner dotted circle indicates a distance of 500 km, the outer dashed circle 1,000 km from the test sites.
68.
Average external exposures from the Bravotest, mainly from short-lived radionuclides, ranged from 1.9 Sv on Rongelap (67 persons, including 3 in utero), 1.1 Sv on Ailinginae (19 persons, including 1 in utero), and 0.1 Sv on Utrik (167 persons, including 8 in utero) [L4]. The collective dose from the exposures received by these individuals before evacuation was, therefore, 160 man Sv. Thyroid doses from several isotopes of iodine and tellurium and from external gamma radiation were estimated to be 12 Gy on average (42 Gy maximum) to adults, 22 Gy (82 Gy maximum) to children of 9 years, and 52 Gy (200 Gy maximum) to infants of 1 year [L4].
69.
The external exposure from the Bravo test to the servicemen on Rongerik Atoll was 0.8 Sv [L4]. For the 23 Japanese fishermen, the external exposures from the fallout

The thyroid doses to the fishermen were estimated to have been 0.21.2 Gy from 131I, based on external counting, but since other short-lived iodine isotopes were also present, the total doses to the thyroid from inhalation during a period of five hours were estimated to have been 0.84.5 Gy [C9].
70.
There seem to have been no other tests that caused significant exposures to the population in the Pacific region.
The populations of the atolls where tests were conducted had been relocated prior to the testing. Exposures to residual radiation levels on Utrik and Rongelap atolls toresidents who returned to these islands in 1954 and 1957, respectively, were of the order of 2030 mSv over the following 20year period from external irradiation and 20140 mSv from internal exposure [C9]. During the temporary resettlement of Bikini Atoll from 1971 to 1978, total whole-body exposures were estimated to have been 23 mSv a1 [G5]. A radiological survey of residual radiation levels, primarily due to global fallout deposition, was conducted throughout the Marshall Islands in 1994 [S2], and more detailed surveys have been made of Bikini and Enewetak atolls, in order to evaluate eventual permanent resettlement [I4, R1]. Estimated effective doses caused byresidual contamination topersons who might return at present to Bikini Atoll were estimated to be 4 mSv with a diet composed of both local and imported foods and about 15 mSvfor a diet of local origin only[I4]. Tests at other locationsin thePacific(ChristmasIslandandJohnstonIsland) were conducted in the high atmosphere, and there was little local fallout deposition.
(c)
Semipalatinsk test site 71.
The Semipalatinsk test site is located in the northeast corner of Kazakhstan (see map in Figure XIII). At this location, 456 nuclear tests were conducted, including 86 atmospheric and 30 surface tests [M2]. The most affected local populations lived mainly east and northeast of the test site, in the Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan and the Altai region of the Russian Federation. After some tests, traces of radioactive contamination were also formed in southern and southeastern directions [G8].

The inner dotted circle indicates a distance of 500 km, the outer dashed circle 1,000 km from the test sites.
The measurement areas in Gansu Province (for Lop Nor) and the Altai Region (for Semipalatinsk) are shown within elliptical areas.
72.
Two tests were most significant in exposing the population of Kazakhstan: the first test on 29 August 1949 andthefirst thermonuclear test on 12August 1953. Theseand two additional test (on 24 September 1951 and 24 August 1956) are stated in [G8] to have contributed 85% of the total collective effective dose from all tests. There are several

Example results from the latest publication [S7] of accumulated effective doses for several districts indicate effective doses in the range from 0.04 to 2.4 Sv. The collective effective dose for ten districts is estimated to be 3,0004,000 man Sv [S7]. The absorbed dose to the thyroid from the ingestion of radioiodines is quite uncertain, but is estimated to be as high as 8 Gyto children in the Akbulak settlement [S7].
73.
The Altai region of the Russian Federation is about 200 km from the Semipalatinsk Test Site. This population experienced exposure following about 40 explosions [S8].
The most significant exposure was caused by the nuclear test of 29 August 1949 with other major exposures following tests on 3 September 1953, 1 August 1962, 4 August 1962, and 7 August 1962. Effective doses of about 2 Sv are estimated to have occurred in the Uglovski district following the 1949 test. The total collective dose to all residents in 58 districts with a total population of 1.9 million persons is estimated to be 42,000 man Sv [S8].
74.
The results for Kazakhstan and the Altai region in the Russian Federation must at present be regarded with caution. There are significant discrepancies among the reported results for Kazakhstan, and the reported results for the Altai region differ markedly when derived from measured results or model calculations. Validation of results based upon contemporary measurements of 137Cs deposition density might be useful in resolving some of these discrepancies.
75.
Investigation of residual contamination levels at the Semipalatinsk site has begun. In 19931994, an inter-national team performed a preliminary survey of the test site and surrounding area [I9]. More significantly con-taminated areas were found at ground zero locations and surrounding Lake Balapan. Projected annual doses were estimated to be 10 mSv, mainly from external exposure, to individuals making daily visits to these sites and 100 mSv to those who might permanently reside at these locations.
Present annual effective doses to persons living outside the test site boundaries were estimated to be of the order of 0.1 mSv from residual contamination levels.
(d)
Novaya Zemlya test site 76.
The test site Novaya Zemlya in the Russian Arctic is large and remote. Although an extensive atmospheric test programme was conducted there, most of the tests were carried out at high altitudes, thus minimizing local fallout.
There was one test with a 32 kt yield on the land surface on 7 September 1957 [M2]. In addition, there were two tests on the surface of the water and three tests underwater at the site. Research programmes to investigate residual contamination both on-and off-site have been initiated. It may be that reindeer herders and those who consume reindeer meat received low internal exposures, primarily from 137Cs, that could be attributed to tests at this site.

Maralinga, Emu test sites 77.
The nuclear weapons testing programme of the United Kingdom included 21 atmospheric tests at sites in Australia and the Pacific. The tests in the Pacific at Malden and the Christmas Islands in 1957 and 1958 were airbursts over the ocean (six tests with submegatonne and megatonne yields) or explosions of devices suspended by balloons at 300450 m over land (one test of 24 kt and two tests each with 25 kt yield) [D2]. Local fallout would have been minimal following those tests. Twelve tests were conducted from 1952 to1957 at three sites in Australia: Monte Bello Islands, Emu, and Maralinga, which are shown on the map in Figure XIV.
These were mainly surface tests with yields of 60 kt or less.
For each of these tests, trajectories of the radioactive cloud weredetermined, and local andcountrywidemonitoringofair and deposition was performed [W1]. Estimates of external exposures in local areas werenot made for the earlier tests; for the tests in 1956 and 1957, the external effective doses were less than 1 mSv [W1]. The sizes oflocal populations were not indicated. Estimates of internal exposures were also made for the entire Australian population. The average effective dose was 70 Sv, and the collective effective dose was 700 man Sv in this population [W1]. A number of safety tests were conducted at the Maralinga and Emu sites in South Australia, resulting in the dispersal of 239Pu over some hundreds of square kilometres. The potential doses to local inhabitants of these areas have been evaluated [D1, H2, W3]. Following rehabilitation of the Maralinga test site it is estimated that potential doses to future inhabitants living a semi-traditional nomadic lifestyle will be less than 5 mSv [D1].
(f)
Algerian, Mururoa, Fangataufa test sites 78.
The French nuclear testing programme began with four low-yield surface tests at a site near Reggane in the Algerian Sahara in 1960 and 1961 [D3]. There is no information on local exposures following these tests. Some residual contamination remains at this site and at a nearby site, In Ecker, where 13 underground tests were conducted. Small quantities of plutonium were dispersed at these sites from safety experiments, which involved conventional explosives only. Investigations of the present radiation levels and potential exposuresofindividual whomightutilizetheseareas have been initiated by the IAEA.
79.
The subsequent programme of France was conducted at the uninhabited atolls of Mururoa and Fangataufa in French Polynesia in the South Pacific. Most ofthese testsinvolvedthe detonation of devices suspended from balloons at heights of 220500 m [D3], limitinglocal fallout. Radiological monitor-ing has been conducted at surrounding locations. The closest inhabited atoll is Tureia (140 persons) at a distance of120 km to the north; only 5,000 persons lived within 1,000 km of the test site. A larger population (184,000 persons in 1974) is located 1,200 km to the northwest, at Tahiti. Under the conditions that normally prevail at the test site, radioactive debris of the local and tropospheric fallout was carried to the east over uninhabited regions of the Pacific. On occasion, however, some material was transferred to the central South Pacific within a few days of the tests by westerly moving eddies.French scientists[B8]haveidentifiedfivetests,follow-ing which regional population groups were more directly exposed (Table 19). A single rain-out event caused exposures in Tahiti after the test of 17 July 1974. Exposures resulted mainly from external irradiation from deposited radio-nuclides. Milk production on Tahiti issufficient for onlyabout 20% of local needs, and consumption is in any case low, which limited ingestion exposures. Estimated effective doses to maximallyexposed individuals after all five events were in the range 15 mSv in the year following the test. A collective effective dose of 70 man Sv was estimated for all local exposures at this test site. Estimates of exposures were based on moreextendedmeasurementsthat were made beginningin 1982. In that year the external exposures in the region were in therange110Sva1, internal exposures were232Sva1, and total exposure was 333 Sv a1, due mostly to residual 137Cs deposition from global fallout. The collective effective dose was estimated to be about 1 man Sv in 1982 for all of French Polynesia [R2]. An international investigation of the present radiological conditions at Mururoa and Fangataufa was conducted during 19961998 [I7]. Residual contamina-tion levels were, on the whole, found to be negligibly low.
Small areas with surface contamination from plutonium exist, but it was regarded as only remotely conceivable that a plutonium-containing particle could enter the body of an individual, e.g. through a cut in the skin. Plutonium, tritium, and caesium in the sediments of the lagoons were considered unlikelyto cause non-negligible exposures at present or in the future to any repopulated individuals or to residents of other islands throughout the Pacific region [I7].
(g)
Lop Nor test site 80.
TheChinesenuclear weaponstestingprogrammewas carried out at the Lop Nor test site in western China, shown on the map in Figure XIII; 22 atmospheric tests were conducted between 1964 and 1980.
Limited information is available on local deposition following the tests. Balloons were used to follow the trajectory of the debris clouds, and airborne and ground-based instruments were used to monitor the radiation levels. Estimates of exposures were made over a downwind area to a distance of800 km [Z1]. Estimates of external exposures in cities or towns within 400800 km of the test site in Gansu Province ranged from 0.02 to 0.11 mSv (Table 20), with an average of about 0.04 mSv for three tests, which accounted for over 90% of the dose from all Chinese tests [Z1].
Indoor occupancy of 80% and a building shielding factor of 0.2 were assumed. A retrospective dose evaluation based on soil sampling was conducted in 19871992 [R4]. The dose commitment from 137Cs was estimated to range from 1.5 to 10 mSv in the northwest Ganzu province.
B.
UNDERGROUND TESTS 81.
Testing of nuclear weapons underground was begun in 1951 by the United States and in 1961 by the former Soviet Union. Following the limited nuclear test ban treaty
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 177 of 1963, which banned atmospheric tests, both countries conducted extensive underground test programmes. The United Kingdom participated with the United States in a few joint underground tests. The underground test pro-grammes of France and China continued until 1996. India conducted a single underground test in 1974 and five further tests in 1998. Pakistan reported conducting six tests in 1998. A comprehensive test ban treaty was formulated in 1996, but it has not yet been ratified by all countries or entered into force. Thus, it cannot yet be said that the practice of underground weapons testing has also ceased.
82.
The number of underground tests (Figure I, upper diagram) has greatly exceeded the number of atmospheric tests, but the total yield of the former (Figure I, lower diagram) has been much less. The largest underground tests had a reported yield of 1.510 Mt (27 October 1973, at Novaya Zemlya by the former Soviet Union) [M2] and less than 5 Mt (6 November 1971 at Amchitka, Alaska, by the United States) [D4], but most tests have been ofa much lower yield, particularly if containment of nuclear debris was desired. Only with venting or diffusion of gases following the tests, as has happened on occasion, could local populations be exposed.
83.
Underground test programmes were summarized in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3] and the resultant exposures were estimated. No further information has become available that could allow exposure estimates to be improved. It would be desirable to have a more complete list of those tests in which venting occurred and estimates of the amounts of radioactive materials thereby dispersed in the atmosphere.
Thirty-twoundergroundtestsconductedat theNevadatestsite were reported to have led to off-site contamination as a result of venting [H3].
84.
The number of underground tests requires revision, based on recentlypublished information [D4, M2]. Several tests involved the simultaneous detonation of two or more nuclear charges, either in the same or in separate boreholes or tunnels. These so-called salvo tests were done for reasons of efficiency or economy, but they also deterred detection by distant seismic measurements. The tests usually involved two to four charges; the maximum number was eight. Since each charge has now been identified, they can be properly specified as separate tests.
The annual numbers of underground tests conducted by each country are given in Table 21. The total number of tests by all countries is 1,876.
85.
The yields of individual underground tests have not been directlyspecified. Manyare simplyreported to be within a range of energies, for example <20 kt or 20150 kt. The annual yields of underground tests at all locations have been compiled bythe National Defense Research Establishment in Sweden [N6]. These estimates were included in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3]. The total yield of all tests conducted through 1992 was 90 Mt. The yields of subsequent tests have not altered this total amount. The total yield of all underground tests conducted bythe former Soviet Union has been reported to be 38 Mt [M2]. The yields apportioned to other countries are listed in Table 22.
86.
Table 22 provides a summary listing of all nuclear weapons tests, both atmospheric and underground. The total number of tests was 2,419; this includes the two combat explosions of nuclear weapons in Japan and a number of safety tests. The latter had no nuclear yield, but theyare conventionallyincluded in listingsofnuclear tests.
The total yield of all tests was 530 Mt.
C.
PRODUCTION OF WEAPONS MATERIALS 87.
In addition to weapons testing, the installations where nuclear materials were produced and weapons were fabricated were another source of radionuclide releases to which local and regional populations were exposed. Some information on this practice was presented in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3]. Especially in the earliest years of this activity, the pressures to meet production schedules and the lack of stringent waste discharge controls resulted in higher local exposures than in the later years. Efforts are being made to evaluate the exposures that occurred during all periods in which these installations operated. Although it maynot be possible to systematically evaluate all such exposures, newly acquired information is summarized in this Section. Also, at some sites, weapons are now being dismantled.
1.
United States 88.
Nuclear weapons plants in the United States included Fernald, in Ohio(materials processing); Portsmouth, in Ohio, and Paducah, in Kentucky (enrichment); Oak Ridge, in Tennessee (enrichment, separations, manufacture ofweapons parts, laboratories); Los Alamos, in New Mexico (plutonium processing, weapons assembly); Rocky Flats, in Colorado (manufacture of weapons parts); Hanford, in Washington (plutonium production); and Savannah River, in South Carolina (plutonium production). There are many more sites at which such operations were conducted and wastes were stored or disposed. It has been estimated that there are some 5,000 locations in the United States where contamination by radioactive materials has occurred, not all of which are associatedwithweaponsmaterialsproduction[W4].Estimates of releases of radioactive materials during the periods of operation of the nuclear installations are summarized in Table 23. Alsolisted are the exposures estimated to have been received by the local populations. This information might be extended when studies now underway are concluded, thus allowingbetterdocumentationofthehistoricalexposuresfrom this practice.

Russian Federation 89.
There were three main siteswhereweapons materials were produced in the former Soviet Union: Chelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Tomsk. Relativelylarge routine releases
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 178 occurred during the early years of operation of these facilities. In additions, accidents have contributed to the background levels of contamination and to the exposure of individuals living in the local and regional areas.
(a)
Chelyabinsk 90.
The Mayak nuclear materials production complex is located in the Chelyabinsk region between the towns of Kyshtym and Kasli near the eastern shore of Lake Irtyash.
Uranium-graphite reactors for plutonium production and a reprocessing plant began operating in 1948. Relatively largedischargesofradioactive materials totheTecha River occurred from 1949 to 1956 [D5]. The available informa-tion on exposures to the local population was summarized in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3].
91.
Estimates of releases of radionuclides during the early years of operation of the Mayak complex are presented in Table 24. Controls of releases were introduced in the early 1960s. Themaximum releasesin airborne effluents, primarily 131I, occurred from 1949 to 1956 [D6]. During the same period, the discharges of radionuclides into the Techa River occurred [D5, K3]. Of the 100 PBq released from 1949 to 1956, 95 PBqwerereleasedin 1950 and 1951. Along with the fission products listed in Table 24, plutonium isotopes were also released.
92.
The individuals most highly exposed from the releases to the Techa River were residents of villages along the river, who used the water for drinking, fishing, waterfowl breeding, watering of livestock, irrigation of gardens, bathing, and washing. In April-May 1951, a heavy flood resulted in contamination of the flood plain used for livestock grazing and hay making. The collective dose to the most exposed population from 1949 to 1956 was 6,200 man Sv (Table 25).
Doses from external irradiation decreased in 1956, when residents of the upper reaches of the river moved to new places and the most highly contaminated part of the flood plain was enclosed. For someinhabitants, however, the Techa River contamination remains a significant source of exposure up to the present time.
93.
On 29 September 1957, a fault in the cooling system of a storage tank containing liquid radioactive wastes led to a chemical explosion and a large release of radionuclides. The total activitydispersed off-site over the territoryofthe Chelya-binsk, Sverdlovak, and Tyumen regions was approximately 74 PBq. The composition of the release is indicated in Table 24. Although the release was characterized mainly by rather short-lived radionuclides (144Ce, 95Zr), the long-term hazard was due primarily to 90Sr. An area of 23,000 km2 was contaminated at levels of 90Sr greater than 3.7 kBq m2 [N8].
In 1957, 273,000 people lived in the contaminated area. Of them, 10,000 livedwherethe 90Sr deposition densityexceeded 74 kBq m2 and 2,100 where the levels were over 3,700 kBq m2. In areas where 90Sr contamination exceeded 74 kBq m2, the population was evacuated, and relocated first from the most severelyaffected area within 710 days and the remaining population over the next 18 months. The main pathways of exposure following the accident were external irradiation and internal exposure from the consumption of local food products.
94.
The Mayak complex was responsible for further exposure of the local population in 1967, when water receded from Lake Karachy, which had been used for waste disposal, and the wind resuspended contaminated sediments from the shoreline. The dispersed material, about 0.022 PBq, consisted mainlyof 137Cs, 90Sr, and 144Ce (Table 24). The contaminated area, defined as having levels of 90Sr greater than 3.7 kBq m2 and of 137Cs greater than 7.4 kBq m2, extended 75 km from the lake. Approximately 40,000 people lived within this area of2,700 km2. The exposures from external irradiation and the consumption of local foods were considerably less than those following the 1957 storage tank accident.
95.
Present levels of exposure associated with operation of the Mayak complex have been estimated from the residual contamination [K4]. For internal exposure, the average (and range) of daily consumption of food were determined to be milk 0.7 (0.51.0) kg, meat 0.14 (0.090.18) kg, bread 0.36 (0.270.52) kg, potatoes 0.57 (0.21.0) kg, vegetables 0.24 (0.140.43) kg, fish 0.05 (0.030.11) kg, mushrooms 0.02 (0.010.03) kg, and berries 0.04 (0.010.06) kg [K4]. These values were used with the concentrations given in Table 26 to estimate the average annual dose from internal exposure of 100 Sv. Average annual dose from external exposure is estimated to be 10 Sv. For the population of 320,000 surrounding the Mayak complex, the annual collective effective dose from present operations (19931996) is estimated to be 35 man Sv (Table 27).

Krasnoyarsk 96.
The Krasnoyarsk nuclear materialsproduction complex is located about 40 km from the cityof Krasnoyarsk. The first two reactors at Krasnoyarsk were direct-flow type commissioned in 1958 and 1961. A third, closed-circuit reactor, wascommissionedin 1964. Aradiochemical plant for irradiated fuel reprocessing began operation in 1964. In 1985, a storage facilityfor spent fuel assemblies from reactors in the Soviet republics of Russia and Ukraine was put into service.
There are plans toreprocess this fuel from the civilian nuclear fuel cycle in the future at the Krasnoyarsk site.
97.
Radioactive wastes discharges from the Krasnoyarsk complex enter the Yenisei River. Trace contamination can be found from the complex to the estuary, about 2,000 km away
[V1]. An estimate of the collective dose from radioactive discharges of the Krasnoyarsk complex during 19581991 is presented in Table 25 [K5]; the estimate is derived from data on the content of radionuclides in water, fish, flood plain, and other components of the river ecosystem [N9, V1]. On the whole, the collective dose was about 1,200 man Sv. The most important contributor (70%)tothisdosewasfishconsumption
[K6]. External exposure from the contaminated flood plain accounted for 17% of the collective dose. The main radio-nuclides contributing to the internal dose from fish consump-tion were 32P, 24Na, 54Mn, and 65Zn. The main contributor to
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 179 the external dose (over 90%) was gamma-emitting radio-nuclides, primarily 137Cs, 60Co, and 152Eu. Individual doses to the population varied over a wide range, from 0.05 to 2.3 mSv a1. The main portion of the collective dose (about 84%) was received bythe population living within 350 km of the site of the radioactive discharges.
98.
In 1992, the direct-flow reactors of the Krasnoyarsk complex were shut down. This considerably reduced the amount ofradioactive discharges totheYenisei River, andthe annual collective dose to the population was decreased by a factor of more than 4. Present estimates of average doses (19931996) are 30 Sv a1 (external) and 20 Sv a1 (internal). With a local population of 200,000, the annual collective effective dose is estimated to be 10 man Sv (Table 27).
(c)
Tomsk 99.
The Siberian nuclear materials production complex is located in the town of Tomsk-7 on the right bank of the Tom River 15 km north of the city of Tomsk. The Siberian complex was commissioned in 1953. It is the largest complex for the production of plutonium, uranium, and transuranic elements in the Russian Federation. The Siberian complex includesfiveuranium-graphiteproduction reactorsthat began operation in 19581963, enrichment and fuel fabrication facilities, and a reprocessing plant [B7].
100. Radionuclides in liquid wastes are discharged into the Tom River, which flows intothe ObRiver. An estimate of the collective dose from radioactive discharges of the Siberian complex from 1958 to 1992 is presented in Table 25. The exposure pathways considered in the dose evaluation were the ingestion of fish, drinking water, waterfowl, and irrigated products and external exposure from the contaminated flood plain. The collective effective dose was estimated to be 200 man Sv. The largest contributor (73%) to this dose was fish consumption. The main radionuclides contributing to the internal dose from fish consumption were 32P and 24Na. The largest portion ofthecollectivedose(about 80%) was received bythe population livingwithin 30km ofthe site ofradioactive discharges.
101. In 19901992, three of the five reactors of the Siberian complex were shut down. This considerably reduced the amount of radioactive discharges to the Tom River and the annual collective dose to the population. The average annual doses to the local population are estimated to be 0.4 Sv (external) and 5 Sv (internal). For the local population of 400,000, the collective effective dose at present (19931996) is estimated to be 2.2 man Sv (Table 27).
102. On 6 April 1993, an accident occurred at the radiochemical plant of the Siberian complex that resulted in the release of radioactive materials [B7, G6, I6]. A narrow traceofradioactivecontamination 3545kmlongwasformed in a northeasterly direction from the complex (based on trace concentrations of 95Zr and 95Nb in soil). The total area of the contamination with dose rate levels at the time ofthe accident higher than the natural radiation background was estimated to be about 100 km2 [M8]. The dominant radionuclides in snow samples from the contaminated area were 95Zr, 95Nb, 106Ru, and 103Ru. Traces of 239Pu and 144Ce were also detected.
A non-uniformity of contamination was noted, with the presence of hot particles in the composition of radioactive materials deposited on the snow. There are no populated places in the area of the pattern, except for the village of Georgievka, which has a population of 73 persons (including 18 children). The cumulative dose from external exposure to the inhabitants of Georgievka from the accident during 50 years of permanent residence will amount to 0.20.3 mSv
[B7], which is negligible, compared to the dose from natural background radiation over the same period.
3.
United Kingdom 103. The production of nuclear materials and the fabrication of weapons began in the 1950s in the United Kingdom. The work was carried on for several years at sites such as Springfields (uranium processing and fuel fabrication), Capenhurst (enrichment), Sellafield (produc-tion reactors and reprocessing), Aldermaston (weapons research), and Harwell (research). Subsequently, work related to the commercial nuclear power programme was incorporated at some of these sites. In the earliest years of operation oftheseinstallations, theradionuclidedischarges may be associated almost wholly with the military fuel cycle.
104. Plutonium production reactors were operated in the United Kingdom at Sellafield (two graphite-moderated, gas-cooled reactors known as the Windscale piles) and, later, at Calder Hall on the Sellafield site and Chapelcross in Scotland. A fire occurred in one of the Windscale reactors in 1957, resulting in the release of radionuclides, most notably 131I, 137Cs, 106Ru, 133Xe, and 210Po. The prompt imposition of a ban on milk supplies in the affected region reducedexposures to 131I. The collective effective dosefrom the accident was estimated to be 2,000 man Sv.
4.
France 105. A nuclear programme in France began in 1945 with the creation of the Commissariat l'Energíe Atomique (CEA).
The nuclear research laboratoryat Fontenay-aux-Roses began activities in the following year. The first experimental reactor, named EL1 or Zoé, went critical in 1948, and a pilot reprocessing plant began operation in 1954. A second experimental reactor, EL2, was constructed at the Saclay centre. From 1956 to 1959, three larger production reactors began operation at the Marcoule complex on theRhneRiver.
Thesegas-cooled,graphite-moderatedreactors,designatedG1, G2, and G3, operated until 1968, 1980, and1984. A full-scale reprocessing plant, UP1, was built and operated from 1958, also at the Marcoule site. Two more plants to reprocess fuel from commercial reactors were constructed at La Haguein the north of France: UP2, completed in 1966, and UP3, in 1990.
106. Although some systematic reporting of radionuclide discharge data is available beginning in 1972 [C10], some
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 180 of this may reflect the reprocessing of commercial reactor fuel. It should be possible toestimate plutonium production amounts at the various installations, and some reports of environmental monitoring(e.g. [M9])maygiveindications of early operating experience.
5.
China 107. A nuclear weapons development programme was initiated in China that led to the first nuclear explosion ofthat country, conducted in 1964. The Institute of Atomic Energy was created in 1950. The first experimental reactor was constructed in Beijing, and a uranium enrichment plant was built at Lanzhou in Ganzu Province in western China. The first nuclear test was of an enriched uranium device. Pluton-ium production and reprocessing were conducted at the Jiuquan complex, also located in Ganzu Province. The production reactor began operation in 1967 and the reprocessing plant in 1968. Production and reprocessing also occurred in Guangyuan in Sichuan Province, where larger installations were constructed. The weapons were assembled at the Jiuquan complex.
108. Assessment of exposures from nuclear weapons production in China have been reported by Pan et al. [P4, P5, P6]. Exposures to populations surrounding specific installations were estimated. This experience relates to the military fuel cycle, since the commercial nuclear power programme started only in the last decade.
II.
NUCLEAR POWER PRODUCTION 109. The Committee has routinelycollected data on releases of radionuclides from the operation of nuclear fuel cycle installations. In the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3], an overview was provided of annual releases ofradionuclides for the general types of reactors and other fuel cycle installations since the beginning of the practice of commercial nuclear power generation. Data for individual mines, mills, reactors, and reprocessing plants were given for the years 19851989.
In this Annex, the data for another five-year period, 19901994,andathree-yearperiod,19951997,areassessed.
110. Thegenerationofelectricalenergybynuclearmeanshas grown steadily from the start of the industry in 1956. The relatively rapid rate of expansion that occurred from 1970 to 1985, an increase in energygeneration of more than 20% per year, slowed to a pace averaging just over 2% per year from 1990 to 1996 [I1]. At the end of 1997, there were 437 nuclear reactors operating in 31 countries. The total installed capacity was352GW, andtheenergygeneratedin1997was254GWa
[I1]. It is projected [I1] that nuclear energy will continue to supplyabout 17%ofthetotalelectrical energygeneratedin the world, as at present, or possibly a few percent less.
111. The nuclear fuel cycle includes the mining and milling of uranium ore and its conversion to nuclear fuel material; the fabrication offuel elements; the production of energy in the nuclear reactor; the storage of irradiated fuel or its reprocessing, with the recycling of the fissile and fertile materials recovered; and the storage and disposal of radioactive wastes. For some types of reactors, enrichment of the isotopic content of 235U in the fuel material is an additional step in the fuel cycle. The nuclear fuel cycle also includes the transport of radioactive materials between the various installations.
112. Radiation exposures of members of the public resulting from discharges of radioactive materials from installations of the nuclear fuel cycle were assessed in previous UNSCEAR reports [U3, U4, U6]. In this Annex, the trends in normalized releasesandtheresultant doses from nuclear reactor operation are presented for the years 19701997. The doses are estimated using the environmental and dosimetric models described in Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies.
113. The doses to the exposed individuals vary widely from one installation to another, between different locations and with time. Generally, the individual doses decrease markedly with distance from a specific source. To evaluate the total impact of radionuclides released at each stage of the nuclear fuel cycle, the results are evaluated in terms of collective effective dose per unit electrical energy generated, expressed as man Sv(GWa)1. Onlyexposures tomembers ofthe public are considered in this Annex. Occupational exposures associated with nuclear power production are included in Annex E, Occupational radiation exposures.
A.
MINING AND MILLING 114. Uranium mining involves the removal from the ground of large quantities of ore containing uranium and its decay products. Underground and open-pit mining are the main techniques. Underground mines produced 40% of the world's total uranium production in 1996 and open-pit mines, 39% [O1]. Uranium is also mined using in situ leaching, which produced 13% of the world uranium in 1996 [O1]. The remaining 8% was recovered as a by-product of other mineral processing. Milling operations involve the processing of the ore to extract the uranium in a partially refined form, known as yellowcake.
115. Uranium mining and milling operations are con-ducted in several countries. Production in recent years is given in Table 28. In 1997 about 90% of world uranium production took place in 9 countries: Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Namibia, Niger, the Russian Federation, South Africa, the United States, and Uzbekistan. It is noted that oversupply, leading to large stockpiles and low prices,
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 181 has led to considerable reductions in output since 1989
[O1]. However, beginning in 1995, production of uranium was substantially increased in some countries, mainly Australia, Canada, Namibia, Niger, and the United States.
The world production in 1997 was 35,700 t uranium.
1.
Effluents 116. There are few new data on releases of radionuclides, mainly radon, in mining and milling operations. Limited data for underground mines, based on concentrations in exhaust air, were given in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report
[U3] for Australia, Canada, and Germany. There were no estimates of releases in open-pit operations. For under-ground mines the release of radon, normalized to the production of uranium oxide (U3O8), ranged from 1 to 2,000 GBq t1, with a production-weighted average of 300 GBq t1. Based on the estimated uranium (fuel) require-ments for the reactor types presently in use, 250 t uranium oxide are required to produce 1 GW a of electrical energy
[U3]. This leads to an average normalized radon release from mines of approximately 75 TBq (GW a)1.
117. In the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3], the average normalized radon release from mills in Australia and Canada, alsofrom thelimiteddata available, was estimated to be 3 TBq (GW a)1 [U3]. These values are not expected to change with current mining and milling practices. For mining operations in arid areas, liquid effluents are minimal, and radionuclide releases via this pathway are estimated to be of little consequence.
118. The mining and milling processes create various waste residues in addition to the uranium product. The tailings consist of the crushed and milled rock from which the mineral has been extracted, together with any chemicals and fluids remaining after the extraction process. The long-lived precursors of 222Rn, namely 226Ra (half-life 1,600 a) and 230Th (half-life 80,000 a), present in the mill tailings provide a long-term source of radon release to the atmosphere. Based on available data, the radon emission rates were estimated in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3] to be 10 Bq s1 m2 of tailings during the operational phase ofthe mill (assumed to be five years) and 3 Bq s1 m2 from abandoned but stabilized tailings (assumed period of unchanged release of 10,000 years).
Assuming that the production of a mine generates about 1 ha (GW a)1, the normalized radon releases are 3 and 1 TBq (GW a)1 for the operational and abandoned tailings, respectively. The in situ leach facilities have no surface tailings and little radon emissions after closure.
Release estimates from mining and milling operations are summarized in Table 29.
119. In a recent study of eight major uranium production facilities in Australia, Canada, Namibia, and Niger [S6],
measured emission rates were reported to range from background to 35 Bq s1 m2 from the tailings of presently operatingmills. Followingdecommissioning, thereleaserates are at present or are expected to be no more than 7 Bq s1 m2
[S6]. For many of the uranium mill tailings, the long-term managementinvolvessubstantialwater-saturatedcover,which reduces the radon emission rate to 00.2 Bq s1 m2. Taking into account present tailings areas yet to be rehabilitated with good present techniques and the anticipated future practice, the emission rate from abandoned mill tailings can be assumed tobe less than 1 Bq s1 m2. This value is adopted for the present evaluation. The previous estimate was 3 Bq s1 m2 [U3]. For comparison, the average emission rate corresponding to soils in normal background areas is 0.02 Bq s1 m2 [U3].
2.
Dose estimates 120. The methodologyusedbytheCommitteetoestimate the collective dose from mining and milling is described in the UNSCEAR 1977 and 1982 Reports [U4, U6]. The dose estimate is based on representative release rates from a model mine and mill site having the typical features ofexisting sites.
An air dispersion model is used to estimate the radon concentrations from releasesasa function ofdistance from the site, and the most common environmental pathways are included to estimate dose. Thus, the results are not applicable to any given site without duly considering site-specific data but are meant to reflect the overall impact of mining and milling facilities.
121. The previously estimated exposures for the model mine and mill site assumed population densities of 3 km2 at 0100 km and 25 km2 at 1002,000 km. The collective effective dose factor for atmospheric discharges in a semi-arid area with an effective release height of 10 m was 0.015 man SvTBq1 [U3], based on the dose coefficient for radon of 9 nSv h1 per Bq m3 (EEC). As the dilution factor at 1 km has been reduced from 3 106 to 5 107 s m3, the dose per unit release of radon becomes 0.0025 man Sv TBq1. Using this factor, the collective effective dose per unit electrical energy generated is estimated to be 0.2 man Sv (GW a)1 during operation of the mine and mill and 0.00075 man Sv (GW a)1 per year of release from the residual tailings piles. For the assumed 10,000-year period of constant, continued release from the tailings, the normalized collective effective dose becomes 7.5 man Sv (GW a)1 (Table 29). The various revisions in the parameters have led to a considerable reduction from the previously estimated value of 150 man Sv (GW a)1 [U3].
122. An alternative assessment of exposures from mill tailings has been proposed in a study prepared for the Uranium Institute [S6]. In this study, site-specific data relating to currently operating mills in four countries (Australia, Canada, Namibia, and Niger) were utilized.
Differences from the UNSCEAR results arise from the use of a more detailed dispersion model, much-reduced population densities (<3 km2 within 100 km and from 2 to 7 km2 in the region between 100 and 2,000 km), and more ambitious future tailings management with substantial covers to reduce radon emissions. The overall result (adjust-ing for the radon dose coefficient of 9 nSv h1 per Bq m3, as used above) is 1.4 man Sv (GW a)1 over a 10,000-year
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 182 period, which although less by a factor of 5, it is in reason-able agreement with the estimate derived in the previous paragraph.
123. In France, exposures from mill tailings at Lodeve mining site were assessed considering measurements of radon releases prior toand after remediation [T6]. Calcula-tions were based on a Gaussian plume dispersion model, and actual population densities of 63 km2 at 0100 km and 44 km2 at 1002,000 km were used. Before re-mediation the average measured flux was found to be 28 Bq m2 s1. The average annual effective dose to individuals within 10 km from the tailings was assessed to be about 20 Sv. Considering that 12,850 tonnes of uranium were extracted during the whole duration of processing, the collective effective dose to the population living within 2,000 km of the tailings and over a period of 10,000 years was estimated to be 380 man Sv (GWa)1.
This value is much higher than the estimate ofthe previous paragraph, which is due to higher radon fluxes and population densities and to the different atmospheric dispersion model. After remediation of the site, the radon fluxes were found not to be different from the background, and the collective dose was assess to be almost zero.
124. For the model mining and milling operations, the annual release of radon is of the order of 80 TBq (GW a)1 (Table 29). With annual average production of 4,000 t in the main producing countries (Table 28: 36,000 t mostly from 9 countries) and assuming the collective dose is received by the population within 100 km from the mine and mill sites (3 km2 to 100 km = 90,000 persons), the annual dose is estimated to be about 40 Sv [4,000 t ÷ 250 t (GW a)1 x 80 TBq (GW a)1 x 0.0025 man Sv TBq1
÷ 90,000 persons]. This dose rate would be imperceptible from variations of the normal background dose rate from natural sources.
125. The Committee recognizes that considerable devia-tions are possible from the representative values of parameters selected for the more general conditions of present practice. For example, much higher population densities are reported in areas surrounding the mills in China [P4], and previously abandoned tailings may not have been so carefully secured as is evidently possible.
Although careful management of tailings areas would be expected in the future, the extremes of leaving the tailings uncovered to providing secure and covered impoundment could increase or decrease the estimated exposure by at least an order ofmagnitude. Further surveys ofsite-specific conditions would be useful toestablish realistic parameters for the worldwide practice.
B.
URANIUM ENRICHMENT AND FUEL FABRICATION 126. Forlight-water-moderatedand-cooledreactors(LWRs) and for advanced gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors (AGRs), the uranium processed at the mills needs to be enriched in the fissile isotope 235U. Enrichments of 2%5%
are required. Before enrichment, the uranium oxide (U3O8) must be converted to uranium tetrafluoride (UF4) and then to uranium hexafluoride (UF6). Enrichment is not needed for gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors (GCRs) or heavy-water-cooled and -moderated reactors (HWRs).
127. In fuel fabrication for LWRs (PWRs and BWRs) and AGRs, the enriched UF6 is chemicallyconverted to UO2. The UO2 powder is sintered, formed into pellets, and loaded into tubes (cladding) of Zircaloy and stainless steel, which are sealed at both ends. These fuel rods are arranged in arrays to form the reactor fuel assemblies. The fuel pins for HWRs are produced from natural uranium or slightly enriched uranium sintered into pellets and clad in zirconium alloy. The natural uranium metal fuel for GCRs is obtained by compressing the UF4 with shredded magnesium and heating. The reduced uranium is cast into rods that are machined and inserted into cans.
128. The releases of radioactive materials from the conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication plants are generallysmall and consist mainlyofuranium series isotopes.
Available data from operating installations were reported in theUNSCEAR1993Report [U3]. For the model installations, the normalized collective effective dose from these operations was estimated to be 0.003 man Sv (GW a)1. Inhalation is the most important exposure pathway. The collective doses from liquid discharges comprise less than 10% of the total exposure.
C.
NUCLEAR REACTOR OPERATION 129. The reactors used for electrical energy generation are classified, for the most part, by their coolant systems and moderators: light-water-moderatedand-cooledpressurizedor boiling water reactors (PWRs, BWRs), heavy-water-cooled and -moderated reactors (HWRs), gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors (GCRs), andlight-water-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors (LWGRs). These are all thermal reactors that use the moderator material to slow down fast fission neutrons to thermal energies. In fast breeder reactors (FBRs),
there is no moderator, and the fission is induced by fast neutrons; the coolant is a liquid metal. FBRs are making only minor contributions to energy production. The electrical energygenerated bythese various types of reactors from 1970 through 1997 is illustrated in Figure XV and the data since 1990 for individual reactor stations are given in Table 30 [I3].
130. The Committee derives average releases of radio-nuclides from reactors based on reported data, and these averages are used to estimate the consequent exposures for a reference reactor. Mathematical models for the dispersion of radionuclides in the environment are used to calculate, for each radionuclideor a combination ofradionuclides, thedoses resulting from released activity. The geographical location of the reactor, the release points, the distribution of the population, food production and consumption habits, and the

environmental pathways of radionuclides are factors that influencethe calculated dose. The same release ofactivityand radionuclide composition from different reactors can give rise to different radiation doses to the public. Thus, the calculated exposures for a reference reactor provide only a generalized measure of reactor operating experience and serve as a standardizedparameter for analysinglonger-term trendsfrom the practice.
1.
Effluents 131. Theradioactivematerialsreleasedin airborneandliquid effluents from reactors during routine operation are reported with substantial completeness. The data for 19901997 are included in Tables 3136: noble gases in airborne effluents (Table31), tritium in airborneeffluents(Table32),iodine-131 in airborne effluents (Table 33), particulates in airborne effluents (Table34), tritium in liquid effluents (Table 35), and radionuclides other than tritium in liquid effluents (Table 36).
Each table also includes a summary of the total releases and the normalized releases (amount of radionuclide released per unit electrical energy generated) for each year of the five-year period 19901994 and for the three-year period 19951997 for each type of reactor and for all reactors together. Average normalizedreleasesofradionuclidesfrom each reactor type in five-year periods beginning in 1970 and for the three-year period 19951997 are presented in Table 37.
132. The normalized releases have traditionally been compiled for each reactor type. This is justified by the different composition of the releases, e.g. for noble gases, 41Ar from GCRs and krypton and xenon isotopes from other types of reactors. In this case, different dose factors are required to estimate the doses. For other release components, e.g. 14C or 131I, there may be no inherent differences between reactor types, and atypical releases from one or a few reactors may dominate the normalized release values. In this case, the average normalized releases reflect only the prevailing operating experience, which cannot betaken asrepresentative of the releases from a particular reactor type. With relatively complete data, little extrapolation is needed for estimating the collective doses from the total releases, and the normalized values are retained by reactor type mainly for convenience.
133. The release experience of individual reactors during the last five-year period (19901994) is evaluated in Figure XVI and shown as the characteristic distributions of the different reactor types. All reactors with relatively complete entries in Tables 3136 (four or five years ofdata for both release amount and energygenerated) are included in the figures. Each point has been derived from the total release of the radionuclide in 19901994 divided by the electrical energy generated in the same period. This evaluation of normalized release partly eliminates variations in annual values during the five-year period.
There are, however, substantial differences in values from one reactor to another. Some factors affecting releases of radionuclides include the integrity of the fuel, the waste management systems, and procedures and maintenance operations conducted during the period of interest.
134. To obtain the characteristic distribution diagrams, the data are put in ranked order. The cumulative fractional value of point i of n points is specified as i/(n + 1). The inverse of the standard normal cumulativedistribution ofeach fractional point is then derived. The value expresses the standard deviation of the data point from the centre of the distribution.
In Figure XVI, the abscissa has been transformed to a percentage scale (0 = 50%, 1 SD = 84.14%, 2 SD = 97.73%,
etc.). With a logarithmic scale on the ordinate, a straight line indicates a log-normal distribution. A steep slope indicates wide variations in the data. Breaks in the line indicate separate subpopulations of the available data. Outlier points are readily identified in these plots.
135. The distribution of normalized releases from reactors are approximately log-normal, often with a wide distribution of the data. The normalized releases of noble gases (Figure XVI) span seven orders of magnitude. There may be some differences in thecomposition ofnoble gases reported in airborne effluents, particularly the short-lived isotopes. The

ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 186 distributions for PWRs and BWRs are similar, but with deviations to higher normalized releases from BWRs in the upper range of the distribution. The highest values for BWRs arefrom thereactorsBig Rock Point, Ringhals 1, andTarapur 12, ranging from 3,400 to 41,000 TBq (GW a)1. The mean value for all BWRs is 18 TBq (GW a)1. The distributions for GCRsandHWRsaresimilar and somewhat higher than those for PWRs and BWRs.
136. The normalized releases of tritium in airborne effluents (Figure XVI) are less wide ranging. The distributions for PWRs and BWRs are identical; the distribution for GCRs is somewhat higher, with fewer values available, however. The distribution for HWRs is much higher, reflecting the large amounts of tritium produced in the moderator of these reactors. Among HWRs, those in Canada and the reactors Fugen, Embalse, and Wolsong 1 are all below 800 TBq (GW a)1, while Karachi, Atucha 1, and the Indian reactors are at higher values.
137. The distribution of 131I releases in airborne effluents (Figure XVI) are quite wide and are somewhat higher for BWRs and HWRs than for PWRs. There are fewer values for GCRs; however, when several reactors with data for three years in 19901994 are included, the distribution is similar to that of BWRs and HWRs.
138. The distributions of particulate releases are also shown in Figure XVI. The strikingly high values in Table 34 for the Swedish BWR Ringhals 1 in 1994 and 1995 are attributable to damage in fuel elements beginning in 1993 and a problem in delaying releasesofradionuclidesenteringturbineroom air
[N3]. These releases were toa large extent due torather short-lived nuclei. Nuclei with half-lives of less than 83 minutes gaveriseto98%ofthe releasedactivity. Authorizeddischarge limits were not exceeded; the atmospheric releases reached a maximum of 36% of the total dose limit for individuals (0.1 mSv a1) of the hypothetical critical group. The average value for 19901994 for this reactor [17 TBq (GW a)1] is the highest in the distribution for BWRs (Figure XVI). Relatively high values [0.040.1 TBq (GW a)1] were also derived for the BWRs Forsmark 13, Tarapur 12, and Oskarshamn 13. Thedistributionsofparticulatereleasesare verydifferent for the different reactor types and are somewhat higher for BWRs and GCRs than for PWRs.
139. Normalized releases of tritium in liquid effluents (Figure XVI) are fairly uniform about the mean values for most of the reactors. The distribution for BWRs is lowest and for HWRs, highest. Intermediate are the distributions for PWRs and GCRs. The mean value for the group is about 1 TBq (GW a)1. The GCRs seem to form two distributions, with newer reactors at the higher end and the older reactors at the lower end, the opposite of the case for the noble gas releases. The HWRs are gathered about a mean normalized release of tritium in liquid effluents of about 400 TBq (GW a)1; at the lower extreme is the Pickering 58 station
[28 TBq (GW a)1] and at the higher end [1,1003,700 TBq (GW a)1] are Bruce 14, Kalpakkam 12, and Atucha 1.
140. A wide range (eight orders of magnitude) is necessary to illustrate the normalized releases of radionuclides other than tritium in liquid effluents (Figure XVI); this may be a result of the radionuclides identified and of the hold-up times provided in the waste treatment systems. The distributions are similar, although that for GCRsissomewhat higher. Aduality in the GCR distribution is again noted, this time taking the pattern for noble gases mentioned above (higher normalized releases from the older reactors).
141. The radionuclide composition of releases has been examined for the various reactor types. In general, the releases of noble gases from PWRs are dominated by 133Xe, with a half-life of 5.3 days, but short-lived radionuclides such as 135Xe (half-life = 9.2 h) are also present. For the BWRs the composition of the noble gas releases is more varied, with most krypton and xenon radionuclides included. The releases of particulates from BWRs are also variable and difficult to generalize from the limited data available. The radionuclides 88Rb (half-life = 17.8 min), 89Rb (half-life = 15.2 min), 138Cs (half-life = 33.4 min), and 139Ba (half-life = 83.1 min) were prominent in the large releases mentioned above from the Ringhals 1 reactor. The radionuclide compositions of liquid releases from PWRs seem to vary from reactor to reactor; the cobalt isotopes (58Co, 60Co) as well as the caesium isotopes (134Cs, 137Cs) are usuallypresent. In some cases, large relative proportions of 110mAg and 124Sb are reported. It may be that some differences are accentuated by the various measuring and reporting practices at reactor stations.
142. The longer-term temporal trendsin normalizedreleases of radionuclides for the various reactor types are illustrated in Figure XVII. The trends are shown for the time designated pre-1970" to1994, averaged over five-year time periods, and for the three-year period from 1995 to 1997. Except for the atmospheric releases of particulates, the normalized releases are either fairlyconstant or slightlydecreasing. The increased release of particulates to air reflects the operation of a specific reactor and is not characteristic of all reactors.
2.
Local and regional dose estimates 143. The concentrations of the released radionuclides in the environment are generally too low to be measurable except close to the nuclear facility and then for a limited number of radionuclides only. Therefore, dose estimates for the popula-tion (individual and collective doses) are generally based on modelling theatmosphericandaquatictransport and environ-mental transfer of the released radioactive materials and then applying a dosimetric model.
144. The environmental and dosimetric models previously used for dose estimates were described in the UNSCEAR 1982 and 1988 Reports [U4, U6]. Based on the review in Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies, thevaluesofthe dose coefficients for some radionuclides have been revised.
The dose assessment procedures are applied to a model site with representative environmental conditions. The average population density is 20 km2 within 2,000 km of the site.
Within 50 km of the site, the population densityis taken to be

400 km2. For the model site the collective effective doses per unit release (man Sv PBq1) for the different release categories and reactor types are presented in Table 38.
Because of the variability in annual releases, normalized releases [TBq (GW a)1] have been averaged over a five-year period (Table 37) to assess the collective dose.
145. The collective effective dose per unit electrical energy generated [man Sv (GW a)1] is obtained by multiplying the normalized releases per unit electrical energy generated (Table 37) by the collective effective dose per unit release (Table 38). The resulting estimates for 19901994 are given in Table 39. The total normalized collective effective dose for allreactors, weightedbytherelativeenergyproduction ofeach reactor type (Table 39), is 0.43 man Sv (GW a)1. The radionuclide releases were generally similar to those that prevailed in the preceding five-year assessment period [U3],
but revisions in the dose coefficients have reduced the normalized collective effective dose by a factor of 3.
Figure XVIII. Local and regional collective effective doses from average annual releases of radionuclides from reactors. The increasing trend in electrical energy generated is indicated with scale on left in units of GW a.
146. From the total energy generated and the normalized collective dose, the local and regional collective dose from the operation of nuclear power plants during 19901994 is estimated to be 490 man Sv. During 19851989 the corresponding collective dose was 390 man Sv. This is an increase of just over 25%, which is nearly the same as the increase in the energy generated by nuclear reactors (19851989: 936 GW a; 19901994: 1,147 GW a). To reduce the effect of variability in annual releases, the calculation of the collective dose is based on normalized releases averaged over five-year periods (Table 37). However, outliers in the data set can still have a substantial impact on thedoseestimate. If, for example, theparticulatereleasesfrom the Ringhals 1 reactor are excluded, the corresponding dose estimates will be 0.39 man Sv (GW a)1 and 450 man Sv, respectively. However, this point could not be taken out of the data set without examining other possible outliers for 19901994 and for earlier years.
147. It should be noted that the average normalized doses derived here may not apply to specific reactors of a particular type. There maybe further variations in release compositions,

population densities, and local environmental pathways that couldsignificantlychangethecollectivedosecontributions. In a fewcases, reactor operators report estimates ofdosestolocal residentsbasedon possible exposurescenarios. Thedata have, however, not been collected or assessed by the Committee.
148. The temporal trends of the local and regional collective effective doses for the different radionuclide categories over a longer time are shown in Figure XVIII. The collective dose from 131I has decreased for a number of years, and this decrease continues for the latest five-year and three-year periods. The collective doses from tritium (airborne and liquid), 14C, and particulates have been increasingthrough the 19901994 period. Overall, the total collective dose has been relatively constant since 19701979, even though the electrical energy generated has continuously increased.
149. For the model site, the annual average effective doses to individuals, estimated from the release data and assuming the total collective dose for a reactor type exposes a single local population group (400 km2 to 50 km), are 5 Sv for PWRs and GCRs, 10 Sv for BWRs and HWRs, 2 Sv for LWGRs, and 0.04 Sv for FBRs. In comparison, reported annual individual doses from a number of reactor sites are in the range 1500 Sv.
D. FUEL REPROCESSING 150. Fuel reprocessing is carried out to recover uranium and plutonium from spent fuel for reuse in reactors. Most spent fuel from reactors is retained on-site in interim storage, pending decisions on ultimate disposal or retrievable storage.
Only about 5%10% of fuel is submitted to the reprocessing stage of the nuclear fuel cycle. The main commercial repro-cessing plants are in France, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
1.
Effluents 151. Relatively large quantities of radioactive materials are involved at the fuel reprocessing stage. The radionuclides are freed from their contained state as the fuel is brought into solution, and the potential for release in waste discharges is greater than for other stages ofthe fuel cycle. Routine releases have been largely in liquid effluents to the sea. Operating standards have been considerably improved at these plants over the years, with substantial reductions occurring in released amounts.
152. Some revisions and additions have been made to the releasequantitiespreviouslyreported bytheCommittee. Also, more direct data on fuel throughput, which were previously estimated from 85Kr discharges, are available. Therefore, the annual release data for fuel reprocessing plants from 1970 through 1997 are given in Table 40. The average normalized releases per unit of energy generated in five-year periods (except for 19701979, a 10-year period) are summarized in Table 41 and shown in Figure XIX. It can be observed that the releases to both air and sea of most radionuclides have been decreasing over the long term. This is particularlyso for the releases of 106Ru, 90Sr, and 137Cs to the sea and for 137Cs and 131I to the air (Table 41).

Average values ere derived for 1970-1979 and assumed to apply also prior to 1970.
2.
Local and regional dose estimates 153. Collective doses from nuclear fuel reprocessing can be estimated from the normalized releases per unit of energy generated, the electrical energy equivalent of the fuel reprocessed, and the collective dose per unit release of radionuclides [U3]. This analysis is given in Table 41. For the entire period of fuel reprocessing, the total collective effective dose is estimated to be 4,700 man Sv. Liquid releases of 137Cs contributed87%ofthe total dose. Thecollectiveeffectivedose from each radionuclide is shown in Figure XX. In the most recent five-year period (19901994) the dose from 14C exceeded that from 137Cs. During the 1980s and 1990s, the collective dose from fuel reprocessing has been decreasing, even though the amount of fuel reprocessed has been increasing (Figure XX).

Local and regional collective effective doses from average annual release of radionuclides from fuel reprocessing plants. The amount of fuel reprocessed is indicated by the heavy dashed line (units GW a).
154. From the data provided in Table 41, it may be determined that the annual components of collective dose from fuel reprocessing are of the order of 2030 man Sv. If this were received only by a single local population (3.1 106 persons within 50 km), the effective dose commitment to individuals would be about 10 Sv per year of operation. This dose commitment is delivered over a longer-term, especially from 14C, and is distributed, as well, among separate installa-tions (in three countries).
E. GLOBALLY DISPERSED RADIONUCLIDES 155. Radionuclides that are sufficientlylong-lived and easily dispersed in the environment can give rise to global doses.
The radionuclides of specific interest are 3H, 14C, 85Kr, and 129I, with half-lives of 12.26, 5,730, 10.7, and 1.6 107 years, respectively. The large uncertainties involved in estimating doses over prolonged time periods are due to problems in predicting environmental pathways, population distributions, dietary habits, climate change, etc. The uncertainties of dose calculations increase when the integration is carried out for very long periods of time, hundreds or thousands of years or even longer. In this assessment, as was done for the case of collective dose from mill
- tailings, the global dose commitments are truncated at 10,000 years.
156. The normalized releases of the globally dispersed radionuclides given in Tables 37 and 41 are summarized in Table 42. From the electrical energy generated or the energy equivalentoffuel reprocessed, thetotal activityreleaseofthese radionuclides may be calculated (Table 43). Applying the factors of collective dose per unit release to these results gives estimates of the collective effective dose commitments (Table 44). For the very long-lived radionuclides (14C and 129I), a world population of1010 was assumed at the time of the release, and for 3H and 85Kr, a population of 5 109 was assumed.
157. The total collective effective dose per unit electrical energy generated is obtained from the normalized releases from reactors and reprocessing plants (Table 42) and the factors of collective dose per unit release (as revised in AnnexA, Dose assessment methodologies). In normalizing to the total energy generated, the contribution from the reprocessingplantsisweightedaccordingtothefraction ofthe fuel reprocessed (0.11 for 19901994). The estimates of the normalized collective dose commitments are 41 and 43 man Sv (GW a)1 for 19901994 and 19951997, respectively, which are due mostly to 14C (Table 44).
158. The commitment calculations may be used to indicate the maximum dose rate for a continuing practice. The 14C collective dose commitment (10,000 years) based on present practice is roughly 40 man Sv (GW a)1. This means that a continuing practice of 250 GW a energyproduction each year into the future, as at present, would result in an maximum dose rate of 1 Sv a1 [40 man Sv (GW a)1 x 250 GW a/a ÷ 1010 persons]. A limited practice of nuclear power generation would result in progressively less annual dose, e.g. a 100 or 200 year practice would cause 0.1 or 0.16 Sv a1, respectively (19502000 actual practice with 50 or 150 year projected releases as at present). This is illustrated in Figure XXI.
159. In a similar fashion, the maximum dose rates for the other globally dispersed radionuclides may be determined.
These are of the order of 0.1 Sv a1 for 85Kr and 0.005 Sv a1 for 3H and 129I. For limited duration practice, the maximum annual dose rates reached will be less. These are thus negligible annual dose rates for these globally dispersed radionuclides.

F. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND TRANSPORT 160. Solid wastes arise at various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle. They include low-and intermediate-level wastes, mainly from reactor operations, high-level wastes from fuel reprocessing, and spent fuel for direct disposal. Low-and intermediate-level wastes aregenerallydisposedofbyshallow burial in trenches or concrete-lined structures, but there are alsomoreadvanceddisposalsites.High-levelwastesandspent fuel are retained in interim storage tanks until adequate solutions for disposal have been devised and disposal sites have been selected.
161. Doses from solid waste disposal have been estimated based on the projected eventual migration of radionuclides through the burial site into groundwater. These estimates depend criticallyon the assumptions usedfor the containment of the solid wastes and the site characteristics and are, accordingly, highly uncertain in a general sense. The approximate normalized collective effective dose from low-and intermediate-level waste disposal is, however, quite low, of the order of 0.5 man Sv (GW a)1, due almost entirely to 14C [U3, U4].
162. A repositoryfor high-level waste and spent fuel has not yet been constructed. The radiological impact assessment of such a repository has to rely on modelling of the long-term behaviour ofthe waste packages andthe migration ofreleased radionuclides near the site and at greater distance over a long period of time. To carry out such performance assessments, a number of site-specific data, including waste characterization andtransportmodels,areneeded. Such assessmentshavebeen performed, mainly to help in formulating design criteria for the hypothetical repositories.
163. The transportation of radioactive materials of various types between nuclear fuel cycle installations may cause members of the public who happen to be near the transport vehicles to be exposed. Doses can be estimated only by applyinghypotheticalassumptions.Aconservativeestimateis, in this case, of the order of 0.1 man Sv (GW a)1 [U4].
164. Decommissioning of nuclear facilities gives rise to radioactive waste, and some experience is accumulating. The information available indicates that exposures of the public from the decommissioning practice will be very small.
G.
SUMMARY
OF DOSE ESTIMATES 165. The normalizedcollectiveeffective doses tomembers of the public from radionuclides released in the various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle are summarized in Table 45. The local and regional collective dose in the twomost recent assessment periods is 0.9 man Sv (GW a)1. The largest part of this dose is received within a limited number of years after the releases and is mainly due to the normal operation of nuclear reactors and mining operations. The global dose, which is estimated for 10,000 years, amounts to 50 man Sv (GW a)1. The main contribution is from globally dispersed 14C (reactors and reprocessing). The longer-term trends in collective effective doses per unit electrical energy generated show decreases, attributable to reductions in the release of radionuclides from reactors and fuel reprocessing plants. The components of normalized collective effective dose have decreased by much more than an order of magnitude for releases from reprocessing plants, bya factor of 7 for releases from reactors, and by a factor of 2 for globally dispersed radionuclides, compared to the earliest assessment period, 19701979.
166. The local and regional collective dose from the beginning of nuclear power production can be derived from the normalized collective doses (Table 45) and the electrical energy generated in each period (Table 43). The result is about 5,000 man Sv from fuel reprocessing, 3,000 man Sv from reactor operations, and 900 man Sv from mining and
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 191 milling. This analysis is summarized in Table 46. In recent years, the annual total from all these operations amounts to 200 man Sv received by the local and regional population.
Assuming that the current practice of nuclear power production continues for 100 years, the maximum per caput dose can be estimated from the truncated collective dose per unit electrical energygenerated. Figure XXI shows that about 10% of the dose from globally dispersed radionuclides is committed in the first hundred years, and using Table 45, the collective effective dose in the hundredth year of the practice, from globally dispersed radionuclides, would be 5 man Sv (GW a)1. For an annual production of 250 GW a this amounts to 1,250 man Sv per year, which when added to the local and regional dose of 200 man Sv per year gives a total dose of nearly 1,500 man Sv in the last year of the practice.
The maximum annual effective dose arising from 100 years of the practice of nuclear power production is then less than 0.2 Sv per caput for a global population of 1010 persons.
III. OTHER EXPOSURES A. RADIOISOTOPE PRODUCTION AND USE 167. Radioisotopesarewidelyusedinindustry,medicine,and research. Exposures may occur from trace amounts released in production or at subsequent stages of the use or disposal of the radionuclide-containing products. For very long-lived radionuclides such as 14C, all of the amount utilized may ultimately reach the environment. For short-lived radio-nuclidessuchasmostradiopharmaceuticals,radioactivedecay prior toreleaseisan essential consideration. Theisotopesused most widely in medical examinations and nuclear medicine procedures are 131I and 99mTc.
168. Estimatesofdosesfrom radioisotopeproduction anduse are uncertain, owing to limited data on the commercial pro-duction of the radioisotopes and on the release fractions from production and use. The main radionuclides ofinterest are 3H, 14C, 125I, 131I, and 133Xe. Theestimatedannual collectiveeffect-ive dose from the practice is of the order of 100 man Sv [U3].
169. An important use of radionuclides is in medical diagnostic examinations and in therapeutic treatments.
Medical radioisotopes or their parent radionuclides can be produced in a reactor (byfission ofuranium, e.g. 99Mo, 131I, or by activation, e.g. 59Fe) or in a cyclotron (by nuclear reaction, e.g.123I, 201Tl). The main radioisotope, used in 80% of all diagnostic examinations, is 99Mo. In many countries the production, isolation, and incorporation of the radioisotopes into generators, diagnostic kits, or pharmaceuticals are often subdividedindifferentfacilities[K11]. Asanexample,several research reactorsin neighbouringcountriessupply 99Motothe radioisotope production plant in Belgium [W6]. Three different facilities are involved in the Netherlands in the generation of 99Mo, itsextraction and incorporation into 99mTc generators [L10]. This subdivision of the manufacturing process hampers quantification of the fractional release amounts from the overall production phase.
170. In its request for a permit in 1996, a medical radioisotope production plant in the Netherlands reported a controlled annual release of 131I to the atmosphere of at most 300 MBq. Since it handles more than 52 TBq in a year, the release fraction would be less than 0.001%. The maximum annual dose to an individual from this release would 1 Sv
[L10]. This plant receives the 131I as raw material delivered from another company. Therefore, the data are unsuited for the entire production phase.
171. Over the period 19891992, a single facility supplied 90% of the annual amount of 131I (35.9 TBq) used in China and 100% of the 125I (0.98 TBq) [P7]. The average release fraction was reported to be 0.01% for 131I ( a reduction from 4.6% in 19751978) and 0.7% for 125I. The annual collective dose was estimated to be 0.13 man Sv for 131I and 0.10.6 man Sv for 125I, assuming a local population density of 500 km2. The collective dose per unit release of 131I is thus 36 man SvTBq1. This maybe compared with 0.3 man SvTBq1 that was estimated for release from a representative nuclear installation (Table 38).
172. Global usage of 131I in nuclear therapyis approximately 600 TBq (Table 47). With application of the above dose factors, and assuming the release fraction on production to be 0.01%, the global annual collective dose from 131I production and usage is 0.022 man Sv. A further contribution to the collective dose arises from wastes discharged from hospitals.
173. Limited data on 131I releases from hospitals were cited in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3]. Discharges of 131I from hospitals in Australia and Sweden in the late 1980s correspondedto110190GBqper 106 population [U3]. There is high excretion of 131I from patients following oral administration, but waste treatment systems with hold-up tanks are effective in reducing the amounts in liquid effluents to 5 104 of the amounts administered to patients [J4]. This seems to be confirmed by the very low concentrations of 131I measured in the surface waters and sewage systems of several countries
[U3].
This information seems not to be systematically collected.
174. With the estimated global annual usage of 131I in therapeutic treatments of 600 TBq, a release fraction of5 104 and a dose coefficient of 0.03 man Sv TBq1 for 131I released in liquid effluents (from Annex A, Dose assessment methodologies),thefurthercontributiontothecollectivedose is just 0.009 man Sv. The presence of the hold-up tanks should reduce the release of 99mTc, the other major radionuclide, to negligible levels.
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 192 175. Several recent studies consider the external exposure of the groups that are mainly exposed, i.e. parents, infants, who come in contact with therapeuticallytreated patients or fellow travellers on the journey home from the hospital [B12, C12, D8, G9, M11]. These assessments are based either on use of integrating dosimeters or on dose-rate measurements close to the patients with appropriate occupancyfactors. Assessments based on the first approach gave doses of 0.047 mSv to partners and children of the patients treated for hyperthyroidism with 200800 MBq of 131I [B12, M11].
Average doses were 1 mSv to partners and 0.1 mSv to children[M11].Treatment ofthyroidcancerpatientswith47 GBq of 131I resulted in doses below 0.5 mSv to family members [M11]. All of about 200 family members involved in these studies were given advice, according to current practice, about limiting close contact with the patient. Dose rates to fellow travellers ranged from 0.020.5 mSv h1.
176. An approximate estimateofthecollectivedosetofamily members of patients therapeutically treated with 131I can be derived as follows. In developed countries about 20% of therapeutic treatments with 131I are for thyroid cancer and 80% for hyperthyroidism with average administered amounts of 5 GBq and 0.5 GBq, respectively. The weighted average amount administered is thus 1.4 GBq per patient. For global usage of 600 TBq of 131I, 430,000 patients could be treated.
With average exposures of 0.5 mSv to 23 family members, the collective dose to those other than the patients could be 400600 man Sv.
177. The importance of inhalation of radioiodine exhaled by patients treated with radioiodine (0.31.3 GBq), was assessed by whole body measurements of their relatives [W7]. The effective dose ranged from 0.3 to about 60 Sv (17 persons) with a median value of about 4 Sv. Diagnostic procedures with most radionuclides are estimated to result in cumulative doses of less than 40 Sv to someone who remains in the close vicinity of the patient [B13]. Breast feeding following maternalradiopharmaceuticaladministrationmayresult in an effective dose to the infant of more than 1 mSv, if the feeding is not temporarilyinterrupted or ceased. This is the case for a limited number of treatments with radioiodine but also for some with 99mTc and 67Ga [M11, M12].
178. The most important component in the overall dose to thegeneralpopulationfromradioisotopeproductionandusage is that to relatives of patients given therapeutic treatments.
The dominant component ofthe global collective dose is from 131I. It was assumed that decaybetween production and use of the isotope can be neglected, which means that the data on isotope consumption can be used. The resulting global annual collective dose is estimated to range up to about 600 man Sv.
The small doses to relatives of patients after diagnostic procedures mayadd up to a comparable collective dose, since their number exceeds that ofthetherapeutictreatmentsbytwo orders of magnitude. The dose to family members was not consideredin thepreviousassessment bytheCommitteein the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3]. The earlier estimate of 100 man Sv, of which 80% was from 14C, represented possible releases mainly at the production stage. Since this estimate is quite uncertain and likely an overestimate, it is seen that the exposure of family members of patients treated with 131I may beconsideredtobethemost important component ofexposure to radioisotopes used in medicine, industry and education.
B. RESEARCH REACTORS 179. Research reactors differ from reactors producing electrical energyin their wide varietyof designs and modes of operation, as well as a wide range of use. Research reactors are used for tests of nuclear fuels and different materials, for investigations in nuclear and neutron physics, biology, and medicine, and for the production of radioisotopes. At the end of 1999, there were 292 nuclear research reactors operating in the world, with a total thermal energyof3,000 MW. The total operating experience exceeds 13,000 reactor-years. The Committee has not previously collected data on releases of radionuclides from research reactors.
180. Exposures resulting from the operation of research reactors are exemplified by some data reported from the Russian Federation. From 1993 to1996, annual releases from two research reactors in Obninsk averaged 0.7 PBq of noble gases, 5 GBq 131I, 0.3 GBq 90Sr, 0.6 GBq 137Cs, and 0.1 GBq plutonium [M8, M10]. The annual effective doses to individuals in Obninsk were estimated not to exceed 30 Sv
[M8]. Further data on research reactors are not available.
C. ACCIDENTS 181. Accidents involving releases of radionuclides to the environment occur from time to time. To the extent that these result in significant human exposures, they are reviewed and analysed. A separateChapter on accidentswas included in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3], and a brief account was given of all earlier accidents. Since then only one accident has occurred at a nuclear installation involving some exposure of the local population. This was the accident on 30 September 1999 at the Tokaimura nuclear fuel processing plant in Japan
[J6]. A criticality event took place because of improper procedures. During the 24-hour event and because of only limited shielding provided by the building, some direct irradiation was measurable outside the plant site. There was only trace release of gaseous fission products. Three workers inside the plant received serious overexposures. Their doses were estimated to be in the range 1620 Gy, 610 Gy, and 14.5 Gy (gamma equivalent dose). The doses to 169 other employees were determined from personal dosimeters, whole-body counting, and survey of their locations during the accident [I8, J6, S9]. Doses to members of the public, about 200 in all, who were living or working within 350 m of the facility were estimated individually [F6]. Direct exposures to persons outside the site were estimated to be up to 21 mGy (gamma plus neutron). The highest dose, estimated bywhole-body counting, was received by a person at a construction company just beyond the plant boundary.

Lost or unregulated (orphaned) sources can cause exposures ofthe public. These topics are considered further in the separate assessments by the Committee of occupational andmedical radiation exposures. TheCommittee hasnoother information on recent accidents that may have involved exposures of the public. The Committee has begun a more complete analysis of the doses and effects from the Chernobyl accident in the populations living nearest to the reactor in areas of the former Soviet Union. These results are presented separately in Annex J, Exposures and effects of the Chernobyl accident.
CONCLUSIONS 183. Releasesofradioactivematerialstotheenvironmentand exposures of human populations have occurred in several activities, practices, and events involving radiation sources.
The main contribution to the collective doses to the world population in such cases has come from the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. This practiceoccurred from 1945 through 1980. Each nuclear test resulted in unrestrained release to the environment of substantial quantities of radioactive materials. These were widely dispersed in the atmosphere and deposited everywhere on the earths surface.
184. The Committee has given special attention to the evaluation of exposures from atmospheric nuclear testing.
Numerous measurements of the global deposition of 90Sr and 137Cs and of the occurrence of these and other fallout radionuclides in diet and the human body were made at the time the testing was taking place. The worldwide collective dose from this practice was evaluated in the UNSCEAR 1982 Report [U6], and a systematic listing of transfer coefficients for a number of fallout radionuclides was given in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U3].
185. New information has become available on the numbers and yields of nuclear tests. These data were not fullyrevealed earlier by the countries that conducted the tests because of military sensitivities. An updated listing of atmospheric nuclear tests conducted at each of the test sites is included in this Annex. Although the total explosive yields of each test have been divulged, the fission and fusion yields are still mostly suppressed. Some general assumptions have been made to allow specifying the fission and fusion yields of each test in order to estimate the amounts of radionuclides produced in the explosions. The estimated total of fission yields of individual tests is in agreement with the global deposition of the main fission radionuclides 90Sr and 137Cs, as determined by worldwide monitoring networks.
186. With improved estimates of the production of each radionuclide in individual tests and using an empirical atmospheric transport model, it is possible to determine the time course of the dispersion and deposition of radionuclides and to estimate the annual doses from various pathways in each hemisphere of the world. In this way it has been estimatedthattheworldaverageannual effectivedosereached a peak of 110 Sv in 1963 and has since decreased to about 5 Sv, from residual levels in the environment, mainlyof 14C, 90Sr, and 137Cs. Theaverageannual doses are 10%higher than the world average in the northern hemisphere, where most of the testing took place, and much lower in the southern hemisphere. Although there was considerable concern at the time of testing, the exposures remained relatively low, reaching at most about 5% of the background level from natural radiation sources.
187. The exposures to local populations surrounding the test sites have alsobeen assessed using available information. The level of detail is still not sufficient to document the exposures with great accuracy. Attention to the local conditions and the possibilities of exposure was not great in the earlyyears of the test programmes. However, dose reconstruction efforts are proceedingtoclarifythisexperienceandtodocument thelocal and regional exposures that occurred.
188. Underground testing caused exposures beyond the test sites only if radioactive gases leaked or were vented. Most underground tests had a much lower yield than atmospheric tests, and it was usually possible to contain the debris.
Underground tests were conducted at the rate of 50 or more per year from 1962 to 1990. Although it is the intention of most countries to agree to ban all further tests, both atmosphericandunderground, thetreatyhasnot yet comeinto force. Further underground testing occurred in 1998. Thus, it cannot yet be stated that the practice has ceased.
189. During the time when nuclear weapons arsenals were being built up and especiallyin theearlier years (19451960),
there were releases of radionuclides and exposures of local populationsdownwindordownstreamofnuclearinstallations.
Since there was little recognition of exposure potentials and monitoring of releases was limited, the exposure evaluations must be based on the reconstruction of doses. Results are still being obtained that document this experience. Practices have greatly improved and arsenals are now being reduced.
190. A continuing practice is the generation of electrical energyby nuclear power reactors. In recent years, 17% of the worlds electrical energy has been generated by this means.
During routine operation of nuclear installations, the releases of radionuclides are low, and exposures must be estimated with environmental transfer models. For all fuel cycle operations (mining and milling, reactor operation, and fuel reprocessing) the local and regional exposures are estimated
ANNEX C: EXPOSURES TO THE PUBLIC FROM MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION 194 at present to be 0.9 man Sv (GW a)1. With present world nuclear energy generation of 250 GW a, the collective dose per year of practice is of the order of 200 man Sv. The assumed representative local and regional population sur-rounding a single installation is about 250 million persons, and the per caput dose to this population would be less than 1 Sv. The collective doses from globally dispersed radio-nuclides are delivered over very long periods and to the projected maximum population ofthe world. If the practice of nuclear power production is limited to the next 100 years at the present capacity, the maximum annual effective dose per caput to the global population would be less than 0.2 Sv.
This dose rate is small compared to that from natural back-ground radiation.
191. Except in the case ofaccidents, in which more localized areas can be contaminated to significant levels, there are no other practices that result in important exposures from radionuclides released to the environment. Estimates of releases of isotopes produced and used in industrial and medical applications are being reviewed, but these seem to be associated with rather insignificant levels of exposure. The highest exposures, averaging about 0.5 mSv, maybe received by family members of patients who have received 131I therapeutic treatments. Possible future practices, such as weapons dismantling, decommissioning of installations, and waste management projects, can be reviewed as experience is acquired, but these should all involve little or no release of radionuclides and consequently little or no exposure.

Yields were partitioned according to values of Table 5. For sites at temperate locations (3060 latitude) and yields of 14 Mt, input to the upper stratospheric region was reduced by one half, essentially averaging equatorial and polar partitioning assumptions; polar partitioning was maintained for the tropospheric portion. For tests in June, July, and August, inputs from temperate sites were assumed to be to the equatorial atmosphere and from all other months to the polar atmosphere. Partitioning from equatorial sites (Christmas Island and high altitude tests at Johnston Island) were assumed equally divided between the northern and southern hemispheres.
