The comprehensive list of radioactive effluents is contained in Appendix A. This list gives the relative ranking factors for each effluent associated with each of the three fuel cycle scenarios. The ranking factors for the whole body, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract, and lung are listed. Gross release of radioactivity in curies is given for the hundred-year period and for the year 2000. Appendix B lists the year 2000 and the hundred-year total for each of the three scenarios for nonradioactive releases from each plant in the nuclear fuel cycle. Tables of the amount released and of the dilution factors are included. Appendix C contains a list of the accumulated dose to the population from unit annual releases of each of the highest ranking radioactive effluents. A 40-year plant life with 30 years of additional dose accumulation at the midwestern reference site is assumed. Radiation exposure pathway summaries and combined pathway totals are given for air and water releases. These doses are used to calculate the total man-rem savings for each control technology. The cost-benefit ratios (in units of $/man-rem) are based on these man-rem savings numbers, and are included in the discussion of each effluent control alternative addressed.
