[en] RADMIL is the radiation and radioactivity monitoring organisation established by the 14 District Councils of Lancashire and the County Council. Annual reports on RADMIL monitoring of the Lancashire environment are produced and this is the second in a series of separate reports on one aspect of monitoring, i.e. 'Radon in homes'. Radon measurements in 283 homes showed an overall mean radon level of 20 Becquerels per cubic metre and few homes above RADMIL's current further investigation level of 75 Becquerels per cubic metre. On the basis of current information, RADMIL does not expect Lancashire to be designated on 'affected area''. (author)

[en] The report summarises nuclear data research in the United Kingdom between January and December 1984. The nuclear data presented includes contributions from government research laboratories and Universities, as well as from various collaborations. The section on nuclear data forum includes three individual papers (being processed separately), these are: the DIMPLE criticality experiments, the potential use of criticality benchmark experiments in nuclear data evaluation, and the use of benchmark experiments for the validation of nuclear data.

[en] The Nuclear Industry Association - NIA is the professional organisation of the British nuclear industry, it is the counterpart of the French Society of Nuclear Energy - SFEN. NIA represents 260 enterprises among which the operators of the 43 commissioned or decommissioned nuclear reactors on UK soil. In UK nuclear industry employs 64.000 people. Despite the recent Brexit an agreement has been signed between NIA and SFEN, this agreement reinforces the cooperation between both countries in the nuclear sector: - the enterprises of the nuclear sector will be helped to find business opportunities in both countries, and - the share of knowledge between nuclear-issue experts of both countries will be encouraged.
