In any case where there is a mixture in waste of more than one
	 radionuclide, the limiting values for purposes of this Appendix must be
	 determined as follows:
For each radionuclide in the mixture, calculate the ratio between the
	 quantity present in the mixture and the limit established in Appendix 004-G for
	 the specific radionuclide when not in a mixture. The sum of such ratios for all
	 the radionuclides in the mixture may not exceed "1" or "unity".
Examples: If radionuclides a, b, and c are present in concentrations
	 Ca, Cb, and
	 Cc, and if the applicable concentrations are
	 CLa, CLb, and CL c respectively,
	 then the concentrations shall be limited so that the following relationship
	 exists:
(Ca/CLa ) + (C
	 b/CL b ) +
	 (Cc/CLc) < 1
If the total curies for radionuclides a, b, and c are represented
	 Aa, Ab, and
	 Ac, and the annual curie limit for each radionuclide is
	 ALa, ALb, and
	 ALc, then the generator is limited to the
	 following:
(Aa/AL a) + (Ab/AL=) + (A
	 c/ALc) < 1
