Since the NRC limits only deal with radioactive materials, it begs the

question as to whether or not the EPA risk assessment ignore chemicals as

well when they are dealing with radioactive materials, or is some total site

risk calculated?



Since many site involve both toxic and radioactive materials, maybe someone

out there can comment on EPAs total site risk concept, if one exists.
