Note

In the case of a waste that contains a mixture of radionuclides, the limiting values for purposes of this appendix shall be determined as follows:

For each radionuclide in the mixture, calculate the ratio between the quantity present in the mixture and the limit established in this appendix for the specific radionuclide when not in a mixture. The sum of such ratios for all the radionuclides in the mixture may not exceed 1.

Examples: If the concentrations of radionuclides a, b, and c in the waste are represented by Ca, Cb, and Cc and the applicable concentration limits are CLa, CLb, and CLc, respectively, then the concentrations shall be limited so that the following relationship exists:

(Ca/CLa) + (Cb/CLb) + (Cc/CLc) less than or equal to 1

If the total curies for radionuclides a, b, and c are represented by Aa, Ab, and Ac and the annual curie limits are ALa, ALb, and ALc, respectfully, then the generator is limited to the following:

(Aa/ALa) + (Ab/ALb) + (Ac/ALc) less than or equal to 1
