Emissions are in addition to background radiation. The radiation doses due to emissions are for the most exposed persons living near the station. They wou Id typically apply to persons living just outside the stati n boundary who are at their residences 24 hours a day, wl o drink local water and mîlk, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were calculated using actual data from routine analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation samples. as well as station emission data. Most persons would actually receive less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away fromn the station. Radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the station increases. Persons living midway between the two stations would therefore receive less than the doses indicated for either of the stations. Less than 2% of the radiation dose received from the stations is due to liquid emissions, while the remainder is a resuit of airborne emissions., For further information, please caîl us at 1-800-668-5284.
