The volume and curies shipped in each Waste Classification A, B, and C should be reported for each of the following waste streams: 1. resins, filters, and evaporator bottoms, 2. dry active waste, 3. irradiated components, 4. other waste, and 5. sum of all waste. Excluded from the reporting are those materials that are either being sent for laundry (either for washing or dissolving), metal melt, equipment for decontamination before disposal, and other very low- level waste such as material being surveyed for release in lieu of disposal. However, records of these types of shipments should be maintained on site. 8.4 Dose Assessments The annual evaluations of dose to members of the public should be calculated using the regulatory guidance in Regulatory Position 5 and should be reported in the format of Tables A-4 and A-5. Dose assessments should be performed to demonstrate compliance with the following: 1. Licensees should demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I (Table A-4), by doing the following (note that the type of individual or dose receptor should be identified as a real individual or as a hypothetical individual if using bounding dose assessments; the individual/receptor is in the unrestricted area): a. Report the calculated dose from liquid effluents on a quarterly and annual basis to the total body and maximum organ and the percentage of the Appendix I design objectives for the maximum exposed individual. If a particular exposure pathway is not applicable (i.e., it does not exist at a site), no dose should be calculated for that exposure pathway. b. Report the highest air dose from gaseous effluents on a quarterly and
