Abstract:
Doses from natural radiation to the population in the Nordic Countries are summarized
and man made modifications of the natural radiation environment åre discussed. An
account is given of the radiological consequences of energy conservation by reduced
ventilation. Risks from possible future releases of radioactivity from final repositories
of spent nuclear fuel are compared to the risks from present natural radioactivity in the
environment. The possibilities for comparison between chemical and radiological risks
are discussed.
