ABSTRACT
In Chapters One to Four, the various processes for UK electricity production have been outlined, with requirements for normal construction, operation and decommissioning. Unfortunately, both operations on process sites and the associated discharges may involve unplanned effects, incurring injury or death to both operators and the general public. In this chapter, we set out to quantify these undesirable side-effects of normal operations and also accidents to individuals or small groups. Accidents involving larger groups of people are discussed in Chapter Seven.
