1 documents for this subject
Summary
The Radioactivity in Food and the Environment (RIFE) report is an annual report that details sampling and analysis carried out by UK authorities on levels of radioactive substances in food and the environment. These monitoring activities are designed or undertaken by the Environment Agency, Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
Overall, between 2022 and 2023 there have been no significant changes to the radioactivity measured in food and the environment around UK nuclear sites and other locations remote from these sites. Exposure from all sources of naturally occurring and artificial radioactivity to members of the public was well below legal limits, demonstrating that radioactivity in food and the environment is safe.
