				  material placed in the path of scattered and leakage radiation to reduce the
				  radiation exposure for protection purposes.

				  accordance with the following formula: For each kind of special nuclear
				  material, determine the ratio between the quantity of that special nuclear
				  material and the quantity specified above for the same kind of special nuclear
				  material. The sum of the ratios for all of the kinds of special nuclear
				  material in combination shall not exceed "1" (i.e., unity). For example, the
				  following quantities in combination would not exceed the limitation and are
				  within the formula:
