| a. Number of radiation-induced latent cancer fatalities in the exposed population associated with the activities conducted over the 10-year period of analysis
b. Number of radiation-induced detrimental health effects (e.g., nonfatal cancers, genetic effects) in the exposed population associated with the activities conducted over the 10-year period of analysis c. Number of chemical-induced cancers (fatal and nonfatal) in the exposed population associated with the activities conducted over the 10-year period of analysis d. A hazard index of greater than one indicates that the non-cancer health effects could be life-threatening to individuals exposed for one hour or more e. No reasonably foreseeable scenarios resulting in exposure to chemically hazardous materials have been identified f. No reasonably foreseeable scenarios resulting in exposure to radiation have been identified. | ||||||||||
