Non-treatableactive effluent (decontamination is not viable) such as tradewaste is sampled and monitored before discharge to the RiverThames or the public foul sewer. Oils and solvents aredisposed of by incineration.Gaseous radioactive emissions and airborne particulateemissions are filtered and discharged to atmosphere.Non-radioactive effluent is discharged to the public sewer.Liquid foul effluent pumped via the public sewer to Didcot fortreatment prior to discharge to the River Thames. Surfacewater is discharged to the Lydebank Brook.
