Fig.8-5  Estimation of exposure (scenarios) used in the calculation of concentration equivalent dose criteria

During the safety assessment of disposal facilities, exposure doses are evaluated based on the assumption that the general public will be exposed to the waste from the disposal facilities, and the concentration equivalent dose criteria is calculated. For example, a scenario involving river water use must account for exposure caused by drinking contaminated river water and eating livestock raised on the water.
