CERRIE was an independent Committee established by the UK Government in 2001, following concerns about the risks of internal radiation. The Committee operated between October 2001 and October 2004.

Although the Committee was set up and sponsored by two UK Government departments, DEFRA (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and DH (Department of Health), it operated completely independently of them. Its Final Report was not vetted by any Government agency.


Meeting 1 (December 2001):


At its first meeting the committee discussed its work programme: its scope, the specific scientific topics to be addressed, and the order in which they should be tackled. The outcome of this was the topics and questions to be dealt with in the second meeting, in February 2002, and the programme for the remainder of that year.

The programme for the whole of 2002 is available here.
