Any alpha emitting radionuclide not listed above or mixtures of
alpha emitters of unknown composition.01
Any radionuclide other than alpha emitting radio-nuclides,
not listed above or mixtures of beta emitters of unknown
composition.1
1Based on alpha disintegration rate of Th-232, Th-230, and their daughter products.
2Based on alpha disintegration rate of U-238, U-234, and U-235.Note: For purposes of 12VAC5-481-930, where there is involved a combination of isotopes in known amounts, the limit for the combination should be derived as follows: Determine, for each isotope in the combination, the ratio between the quantity present in the combination and the limit otherwise established for the specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios for all the isotopes in the combination may not exceed "1" (i.e., "unity").
