DIRATA is a worldwide centralized electronic repository of records of radionuclide discharges to the atmosphere and the aquatic environment submitted voluntarily by countries. The database also includes historical discharge data collected by UNSCEAR, the European Commission and other international and national organizations.
DIRATA can be accessed online by the public, which helps the regulatory bodies and operating facilities at the national level disseminate information on radioactive discharges and ensure high levels of transparency. The database provides tools for online access to the discharge data and for downloading (in CSV format) and interactive review.
