Notes: | 1 Values are given in Column I only for those materials normally used as gases |
| 2 µCi/gm for solids |
Note 1: | Many radionuclides decay into nuclides which are also radioactive. In expressing the concentrations in Schedule C the activity stated is that of the parent nuclide and takes into account the daughters. |
Note 2: | For purposes of WAC 246-232-010(1) where there is involved a combination of nuclides, the limit for the combination should be derived as follows: Determine for each nuclide in the product the ratio between the concentration present in the product and the exempt concentration established in Schedule C for the specific nuclide when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed "1" (i.e., unity). |
Example: | |
| Concentration of Nuclide A in Product |
| Exempt concentration of Nuclide A |
| + |
| Concentration of Nuclide B in Product |
| Exempt concentration of Nuclide B |
| ≤ 1 |
Note 3: | For the purpose of determining concentration in a product or device, the total quantity of radioactive material present is divided by only that weight or volume of the discrete part or component throughout which the radioactive material is relatively uniformly distributed. If the weight or volume of this part or component cannot be determined then the product or device should be evaluated on the basis of the total quantity of radioactive material present. |
