a. See Section 4.1.11.2 for descriptions of receptors.

b. MEI = maximally exposed individual.

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

d. Additional probability of an excess latent fatal cancer.
