Brief Description Treated sewage effluent from the Sutherland Shire, including low-level effluent from the Lucas Heights Science & Technology Centre (LHSTC), passes through the Cronulla Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and is discharged at Potter Point.
Macro algae (seaweed) at potter Point ocean outfall and a reference site at The Royal National Park were collected. These organisms are known to concentrate a variety of elements, including radionuclides, from their environment.
Samples of green algae (mainly Ulva sp. or Enteromorpha sp.) were prepared whole and unwashed. The samples were dried at 60-70 degrees, ground and analysed for gamma-emitting radioisotopes.
