4 RADIOACTIVITY Source: Accuracy: Definition of total alpha and total beta/gamma: Measurement of specific activities: information: The main source of activity is primary circuit corrosion products absorbed on the resin. will be subject to radiochemical analysis to determine the waste stream fingerprint for each batch of solidified resin. Totals shown on table of radionuclide activities are the sums of the listed alpha or beta/gamma emitting radionuclides plus 'other alpha' or 'other beta/gamma.' Specific activities are based on the last consignment. Each time the ion exchange column is changed the resin solidified will be subject to specific analysis and no generic fingerprint will be used. The details given relate only to the last consignment of solidified resin and it is expected the next batch will differ in radiochemical composition.
