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.
The RMEI is designed to have lifestyle characteristics (such as water and food consumption habits) that would expose him or her to ‘‘reasonably maximal’’ expo- sure levels.
This ‘‘reasonably maximally ex- posed individual’’ (RMEI) represents a theoretical person living in the ‘‘accessible environment,’’ id.
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 reliance on the RMEI standard adopted by DOE has resulted in an inadequate analysis into the potential impacts from future discharges of contaminated groundwater within Inyo County.
Examples of where the EPA standard attempts to impose methods for determining compliance include: (1) the use of the term “reasonable expectation” versus the U.S. NRC term “reasonable assurance;” (2) the requirement to apply the dose limit to the “reasonably maximally exposed individual” (RMEI), versus “average member of the critical group;” and (3) specifying details of how the repository must meet the standard in the area of human intrusion.
With respect to the columns titled "Immediate Results," Therapy Independent Efficacy," and "Supports Reduction & Abstinence," which all appear to refer to the efficacy of these drugs, please explain whether these drugs were all tested in head-to-head comparisons.
Accounting for the 8,000-year travel time for the radionuclides to reach the withdrawal well, results in a peak dose to the RMEI at 8,200 years.
Doses and risks to the RMEI and to the population living within 80 km of the facility were calculated.
The DB-PA calculated results (dose to the RMEI) for all radionuclides at 8,200 years are shown in Table 6.
