The summation rule in respect of column 2 of Table 7 is the sum of the quotients A/B where—
“A” means the concentration in Bq/ litre of each radionuclide listed in column 1 of Table 7 that is present in aqueous waste which is not described in a row in column 1 of Table 6, and
“B” means the concentration of that radionuclide specified in column 2 of Table 7.
The summation rule in respect of column 3 of Table 7 is the sum of the quotients C/D where—
“C” means the quantity in Bq of each radionuclide listed in column 1 of Table 7 that is present in the aqueous waste which is not described in a row in column 1 of Table 6 which is disposed of in the year, and
“D” means the quantity of that radionuclide specified in column 3 of Table 7.
The summation rule in respect of column 4 of Table 7 is the sum of the quotients C/E where—
“C” means the quantity in Bq of each radionuclide listed in column 1 of Table 7 that is present in the aqueous waste which is not described in a row in column 1 of Table 6 which is disposed of in the year, and
“E” means the quantity of that radionuclide specified in column 4 of Table 7.
