From the publication:
RADIOACTIVE DISCHARGES AND MONITORING OF THE ENVIRONMENT Radioactive Discharges Most industrial chemical plants discharge waste effluents to the environment. Each of British Nuclear Fuels' industrial sites is authorised to discharge radioactive wastes by the Authorising Departments, namely the Department of the Environment and Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in England and by the Scottish Development Department in Scotland. The certificates of Authorisation impose limitations and conditions on the disposal of wastes such as the quantities of radioactivity permitted to be discharged, the samples to be taken and analysed and the records to be kept. In establishing radioactive discharge limits for BNFL's operations, the Authorising Departments take account of the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), as expanded and interpreted by the UK National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), and the advice of the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee (RWMAC). In 1986 no radioactivity limits for the discharge or disposal of waste effluent from, or at, any of BNFL's sites were exceeded. There were further substantial reductions in discharges from the Sellafield site.
