	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(1).	or that quantity which corresponds to 3,000m3 of aqueous radioactive waste up to the appropriate concentration as calculated in accordance with column 2.	or that quantity which corresponds to 10,000m3 of aqueous radioactive waste up to the appropriate concentration as calculated in accordance with column 2.

(2) 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.

The concentrations in this table were calculated using methods adopted by the Health Protection Agency in their document HPA-CRCE-005 - Derivation of Liquid Exclusion or Exemption Levels to Support the RSA93 Exemption Order Review, published in Chilton, Oxfordshire in August 2010 (ISBN 0-978-85951-673-0).
