a. See Appendix E for a list of waste streams



which make up each waste type. Dose is based on exposure to all waste streams of a particular waste type.

b. See Section 4.1.11.2 for descriptions of receptors.

c. Totals rounded to two significant figures.

d. Assumes the same individual has maximal exposure to each waste type (Appendix E) for a single year..

e. Dose from 1 year of exposure to incident-free transportation of treatability groups (see Appendix E).

f. Additional probability of an excess fatal cancer.

g. Value equals the total dose the riskrisk factor (0.0004 excess latent fatal cancers per person-rem).
