New radiation study released

The Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Authority (ASNR) published a new assessment on September 28 about the exposure of French citizens to radioactivity. This study provides updated information on the levels of radiation people in France are exposed to annually.

Average exposure levels

On average, each French person receives 7.1 millisieverts of radiation per year. This level is considered normal and is primarily from natural sources such as the Earth's crust and cosmic rays.

Nuclear plants' role

Nuclear power plants are almost not responsible for the average radiation exposure in France. The study indicates that the contribution of nuclear facilities to the overall exposure is minimal compared to natural sources.

Personal exposure tool

An application has been developed that allows individuals to calculate their own exposure to radioactivity. This tool helps people understand their personal radiation levels based on various factors and sources.
