Thirdly, when we came to test those sheep, out of those 2,300 animals, two turned out to have a becquerel level of 1,200.
The becquerel level recorded in the wife was 4,500 and the level in the husband was 4,800.
We could have done so in two ways: first, by advising the public of the impact; and, secondly, by explaining the implications of certain becquerels.
That compares to 2,000 becquerels per litre, which is the level at which action ought to be considered.
The action level is an annual average of 200 becquerels per cubic metre.
If the regulation is approved, the becquerel readings will be increased to 5,000 kg.
That is the side where there have been the highest readings of becquerels per kilo in lambs.
Becquerel levels in the county are still high.
