1
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 Schedule C exceeds one.
2
For Californium-252, the quantity may also be
								  expressed as 20 milligrams.
3
Excludes Carbon-14 as carbon dioxide.
4
For uranium hexafluoride, the quantity is 50
								  kilograms in a single container or 1,000 kilograms total.
5
Waste packaged in Type B containers does not
								  require an emergency plan.
