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.
