Emissions are in addition to background radiation., Frhe radiation doses due toemissions are for the most exposed persons living near the station. They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residences 24 hours a day, who drink local water and milk, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were calculated using actual data [rom routine analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation samples, as well as station emission data. Most persons would actually receive less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away [rom the station. Radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance [rom the station increases. Persons living rnidway between the two stations would therefore receive less than the doses indicated for either of the stations. Less than 5% of the radiation doses received [rom the stations was due to liquid emissions, -while the remaindier was a result of airborne emissions.
