Examples of RMEI in a sentence
The individual- protection standard expresses the maximum doses the RMEI may incur in terms of an ‘‘annual committed effective dose equivalent,’’ a methodology that calculates an overall expo- sure dose by assigning weighting factors to account for organs’ relative sensitivities to radiation.
Notes to the Consolidated financial statements (Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) 6.
In contrast, the Energy Department must hold constant ‘‘changes in society, the biosphere (other than climate), human biology, or increases or decreases in human knowledge or technology.’’ Id.As to the period beyond the first 10,000 years, the rule requires DOE to calculate the maximum radiation exposures the RMEI will incur and then include the results of this calculation in its environmental impact statement as an indi- cator of long-term disposal system performance.
This ‘‘reasonably maximally ex- posed individual’’ (RMEI) represents a theoretical person living in the ‘‘accessible environment,’’ id.
The RMEI is someone who lives near the facility and is assumed to have living habits that would tend to maximize his/her radiation exposure.
For example, the RMEI was assumed to eat all of his/her vegetables from a garden located nearest the facility, which is contaminated with radon progeny as a result of radon releases from the facility.
The DB-PA calculated results (dose to the RMEI) for all radionuclides at 8,200 years are shown in Table 6.
Automotive and helmet coating systems also present similar layer thicknesses, except for the primers of composite shell helmets which are much thicker [32].
Doses and risks to the RMEI and to the population living within 80 km of the facility were calculated.
Also, the assumptions that radon releases occur continuously for 70 years and that the same reasonably maximally exposed individual (RMEI) is exposed to those releases for the entire 70 years are very conservative.Likewise, the risk assessment estimated that the risk to the population from all eight real uranium sites is between 0.0005 and 0.0009 fatal cancers per year, or approximately one case every 1,080 to 1,865 years to the 1.8 million persons living within 80 kilometers (km) of the sites.
