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 maximum exposure to each waste
type (Appendix E) for a single year.
e. Dose from 1 year of exposure to incident-free transportation
of waste (see Appendix E).
f. Additional probability of an excess fatal cancer.
g. Value equals the total dose x the risk factor (0.0004 excess
latent fatal cancers per person-rem).

(person-rem) | (rem) | (person-rem) | |
| Mixed | 0.031c | 6.3x10-3c | |
| Excess Latent cancer fatalities | 1.2x10-5 | 3.2x10-6 |
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 population, dose is the result of exposure to 1 year of incident-free
transportation of waste (see Appendix E).
d. Additional probability of an excess latent fatal
cancer.
