ABSTRACT
A review has been carried out of the various options available for managing foodstuffs with activity concentrations in excess of the intervention levels specified by the European Union. There are three broad management options in situ treatments, alternative uses and disposal. A total of eleven potential options were evaluated. The practicability of each option for use in the UK in the event of a future nuclear accident was assessed. This is affected by six main factors technical feasibility, existing capacity, cost, environmental impact, radiological impact, and acceptability to the waste regulators, operators, farmers and members of the public. These factors have been evaluated quantitatively where possible. Recommendations are made on the most practicable options for managing cereals, vegetables, fruit and milk contaminated with radiocaesium and radiostrontium, and milk contaminated with 131I
