Table 4-72. Annual dose and excess latent cancer fatalities from incident-free offsite transport of radioactive material for alternative B - maximum waste forecast.
| Low level | 1.8 | 1.6x10-4 | 2.7 | ||

| Excess latent cancer fatalities | 0.033c | 1.3x10-7d | 0.051c |
a. MEI = maximally exposed individual.
b. 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. Totals are rounded to two significant
figures.
c. Values equal the total dose times the risk factor (0.0004 excess latent fatal cancers per person-rem for involved workers; 0.0005 excess latent fatal cancers per person-rem for the uninvolved population).
d. Additional probability of an excess latent fatal cancer.
