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.
3
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.
4
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.
Interpretation of this Section29
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.
