1. To convert the curies/cubic meter (Ci/m3) value to gigabecquerels/cubic meter, multiply the Ci/m3 value by 37.

2. There are no limits established for these radionuclides in Class B or C wastes. Practical considerations such as the effects of external radiation and internal heat generation on transportation, handling, and disposal will limit the concentrations for these wastes. These wastes shall be Class B unless the concentrations of other radionuclides in Table II determine the waste to be Class C independent of these radionuclides.
