Table 333.1 note:
1 waste packaged in Type B
				  containers does not require an emergency plan.
B. Notes.
(1) To convert curies to SI units of
				gigabecquerels, multiply the above values by 37. Example: Zirconium-95 of 5000
				curies multiplied by 37 is equivalent to 185,000 gigabecquerels or 185
				terabecquerels.
(2) For
				combinations of radioactive materials, consideration of the need for an
				emergency plan is required if the sum of the ratios of the quantity of each
				radioactive material authorized to the quantity listed for that material in
				table 333.1 exceeds one.
