a. See Section 4.1.11.2 for descriptions of the receptors.
b. MEI = maximally exposed individual.
c. Excess latent cancer fatalities = risk factor (0.0004 excess latent fatal cancers per person-rem for uninvolved workers and 0.0005 per person-rem for the offsite population) × total dose.
d. Additional probability of an excess fatal cancer.
