Why did chernobyl lead to acid rain in the uk?
In a roundabout way perhaps. Chernobyl was a nuclear Power plant. Once up and running, these don't contribute to acid rain. But when it was shut down, in all probability, Power plants relying on fossil fuels were worked harder, burning more fossil fuels. And burning fossil fuel contributes to acid rain. Winds can easily carry the emissions from those Power plants over to the UK.
Do certain areas of the country have higher levels of background radiation than others?
Yes. Apart from the fact that if you live near a power station (nuclear OR coal) will increase the level of background radiation, the level of argon gas in the rocks in the ground will effect the background radiation. I believe its parts of Cornwall that have the highest argon levels in the UK. Even if you lived next to a power station in an area with a lot of argon in the rocks, your yearly dose would still be many hundreds times smaller than a harmful dose.
How many power stations does oil fuel in the uk?

What is the maximum allowance emissions from British power stations?
I don't know of any quantitative value, but the link below will give some idea of the green agenda - whether anything will come of it I don't know. I'm pretty sure no government is going to accept rulings which would leave the country with severe power cuts, but future building may have such standards imposed. But does anyone really know how to incorporate the CCS technology? As far as nuclear stations are concerned, the policy is ALARP - as low as reasonably possible.
