Table 4-25. Annual dose and excess latent cancer fatalities from incident-free offsite transport of mixed waste under alternative A - expected waste forecast.

a. See Section 4.1.11.2 for descriptions of the receptors.

b. MEI = maximally exposed individual.

c. Dose for the remote MEI assumes exposure to each waste in a single year; for the population, dose is the result of exposure to 1 year of incident-free transportation of each waste (see Appendix E).

d. Additional probability of an excess latent fatal cancer.
