or that concentration which gives rise to a dose to a member of the public of 10 microsieverts per year calculated in accordance with the methodology used to calculate other concentrations in this table. | or that quantity which corresponds to 3000m3 of aqueous radioactive waste up to the appropriate concentration as calculated in accordance with column 2. | or that quantity which corresponds to 10000m3 of aqueous radioactive waste up to the appropriate concentration as calculated in accordance with column 2. |
31. The summation rule in respect of column 2 of Table 7 is the sum of the quotients A/B where—
(a)“A” means the concentration in Bq/ litre of each radionuclide listed in column 1 of Table 7 that is present in aqueous waste which is not described in a row in column 1 of Table 6; and
(b)“B” means the concentration of that radionuclide specified in column 2 of Table 7.
32. The summation rule in respect of column 3 of Table 7 is the sum of the quotients C/D where—
(a)“C” means the quantity in Bq of each radionuclide listed in column 1 of Table 7 that is present in the aqueous waste which is not described in a row in column 1 of Table 6 which is disposed of in the year; and
(b)“D” means the quantity of that radionuclide specified in column 3 of Table 7.
33. The summation rule in respect of column 4 of Table 7 is the sum of the quotients C/E where—
(a)“C” means the quantity in Bq of each radionuclide listed in column 1 of Table 7 that is present in the aqueous waste which is not described in a row in column 1 of Table 6 which is disposed of in the year; and
(b)“E” means the quantity of that radionuclide specified in column 4 of Table 7.
34. In this section, where any radionuclide carries the suffix “+” or “sec”—
(a)that radionuclide represents the parent radionuclide in secular equilibrium with the corresponding daughter radionuclides which are identified in column 2 of Table 8 adjacent to that parent radionuclide; and
(b)a concentration or activity value given in respect of such a parent radionuclide is the value for the parent radionuclide alone, but already takes into account the daughter radionuclides in column 2 that are present.
35. The Table 8 referred to in paragraph 34 is—

Explanatory Memorandum sets out a brief statement of the purpose of a Statutory Instrument and provides information about its policy objective and policy implications. They aim to make the Statutory Instrument accessible to readers who are not legally qualified and accompany any Statutory Instrument or Draft Statutory Instrument laid before Parliament from June 2004 onwards.

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
