| Category | Gréville | Digulleville | Beaumont | Herqueville | Jobourg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha activity (mBq/m3) | < 1.6 | < 1.4 | < 1.1 | < 1.7 | < 1.1 |
| Beta activity (mBq/m3) | < 170 | < 110 | < 170 | < 100 | < 100 |
| External irradiation (nGy/h) | 84 | 130 | 75 | 120 | 91 |
| Radon (mBq/m3) | 6 100 | 5 400 | 5 800 | 5 500 | 5 200 |
| Gas excluding Tritium* (Bq/m3) | 120 | 160 | 77 | 15 000 | 52 |
- Dust radioactivity is given in millibecquerel per m3.
- Irradiation is given in nanogray per hour.
- The natural radioactivity of radon 220 is the basis of the natural radioactivity of radon 222 and its daughter products are not taken into account in these measurements.
- Given the geological factors and the difference in altitudes, background irradiation in France varies from one region to another, between 10 and 250 nGy/h.
* Continuous measurement of gas activities in exterior stations carried out with a monitor where the measurement setpoint is 50Bq/m3
