Abstract Natural radioactivity in coastal sediments reflects both geological provenance and sedimentary processes, and its quantification is essential for environmental monitoring in areas of planned nuclear infrastructure. This study establishes pre-operational baseline levels of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in coastal sands of the southern Baltic Sea prior to nuclear power plant construction.

The first in a new series of masterclass sessions was held at King’s. The Department of Political Economy hosted Joël Reland, a senior research fellow with the UK in a Changing Europe, for a session entitled: ‘Public opinion and policymaking: lessons from Brexit’.
