NOTE 1: Many radioisotopes disintegrate into isotopes that are also radioactive. In expressing the concentrations, the activity stated is that of the parent isotope and takes into account the daughters.
NOTE 2: For purposes of 12VAC5-481-400 A where there is involved a combination of isotopes, the limit for the combination should be derived as follows:
Determine for each isotope in the product the ratio between the concentration present in the product and the exempt concentration for the specific isotope when not in combination. The sum of such ratios may not exceed "1" (i.e., unity).
