How does SEPA estimate the dose to the public?

SEPA assesses the potential risks from radioactivity by determining the dose to the most exposed individual. For example, someone living near a nuclear site, and who eats local shellfish, may potentially be the most exposed individual. If the assessed dose is within statutory limits, it follows that the doses to other lesser exposed members of the public will also be within these limits.
