Radionuclide Releases - Canadian Nuclear Laboratories / Direct Discharge

This dataset contains the total annual releases of radionuclides released directly to the environment through direct discharge (i.e. releases to water) from facilities operated by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Canada.

This original radionuclide releases dataset of the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories provides results for both stack emissions and direct discharge. The dataset has been divided in two subsets for better discoverability. In this record as its title indicates, you will find the direct discharge results mapped. Make sure to look at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories stack emissions record in order to obtain a complete picture.
