a. Increased risk of latent fatal cancers per year.
b. Waste types are described in Appendix F.
c. Change factors represent the multiplication factor required to equate no-action alternative risks to alternative A risks (e.g., no-action risk times change factor equals alternative A risk). The up arrow () indicates that the alternative A risk is greater.
