Chatham Carbon 14

The request was partially successful.

Dear Ministry of Defence,

I note in a recent answer to an FOI MOD have stated that a maximum of 0.95 GBq of Carbon-14. was buried by the MOD at Chatham.

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1...

Could you please provide me with details of the calculations and assumptions used to arrive a this figure and also information about the statistical uncertainty of the figure.

Could you provide me with information about the updated risk assessment for the burial site to take account of Carbon 14

Could you provide information why Carbon 14 has not been included in the environmental survey reports.

Also whether or not the MOD has now informed the Environment Agency that Carbon 14 was also disposed by burial at Chatham when the original agreement from the then HMIP was for Cobalt 60.

Could you tell me if the MOD has provided any information about the radioactive waste burial site to the developers of the adjacent land. If so what information has been provided.

Yours faithfully,

Fred WP Dawson
