Table 6.3 Specific doses to members of the public living on excavated waste after<br />

60 years, and corresponding radiological capacities. Radiological<br />

capacities are based on a 3 mSv / year dose criterion. Results include<br />

doses arising from ingrowth of daughter radionuclides for 60 years.<br />

6.3 Overall radiological capacity<br />

To illustrate the potential overall capacity of the ENRMF, waste stream data for the<br />

UKAEA Harwell Meashill Trenches (Table 2.6) has been used to calculate overall<br />

radiological capacities based on the groundwater and human intrusion pathways using<br />

the assumptions and dose criteria described above. The results presented in Tables<br />

6.4 to 6.6 show that the calculated capacities for the groundwater and human intrusion<br />

pathways are very similar, in large part because of the different dose criteria applied.<br />

Table 6.6 also shows the contributions to the overall dose of the individual<br />

radionuclides. For the groundwater pathway, Pu-239 and Pu-240 are the key<br />

contributors to dose. In the case of human intrusion, Ra-226 is the principal<br />

contributor to dose.<br />
