Abstract
Some of the waste material discharged into the sea from the Dounreay reactor establishment settles on the nets used by fishermen in the area. The dose rate to their hands is a function of the discharge rate and the local conditions around the fishermen's nets. Equations derived on this basis show a close agreement with findings in the field.
