Since 1991, radiocarbon analyses of exhaust air have been part of the regular radioactivity monitoring program at the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), a Westinghouse 632 MWe pressurized water reactor (PWR). Activity of CO 2 and hydrocarbons has been identified; the former contributes ca. 43%. A normalized release of total 14 C of 0.219 TBqGWe −1 a −1 was obtained. Indoor air 14 C concentrations in selected rooms inside the plant have generally been −3 , although rare peaks of >1000 Bq m −3 may be reached. Tree rings have shown slight enhanced 14 C activity due to the operation of the plant
