| Time-dependent impact of seaward radioactive discharges on waters of one coastal station of the English Channel. The disposai at sea of liquid waste from the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at La Hague (CEA/Cogema) causes modifications to the radioactivity of marine waters in both space and time. Fluctuations in this radioactivity are controlled by many different parameters; to study these parameters, samples were taken, in particular, from a coastal site situated 5 km from the outlet pipe. The overall impact of these releases on the radioactivity of sea-water depends on various factors, including the amount and frequency of discharges, the hydrodynamic regime of water masses in the region and local meteorological conditions. In order to assess this... |
