Notes:
1. Data from Reference 16, Table 1. Data listed is average weight fraction of each hazardous material of the total canister/drum weight. Sum
will not add to unity, as other nonhazardous materials are within each canister and or drum.
2. Canister Inventory = (Weight Fraction ) x (6300 lbs/canister) [x (453.592 g/lb) x (1E+03 mg/g)]
3. Cask Inventory = (Weight Fraction) x (2430 lbs/cask) [x (453.592 g/lb) x (1000 mg/g)]
