From page 3...
... S\ich material would not be expected to have any activity originating from the operation of the nuclear power plant. In order to cover any eventuality, this working panel suggests that: Solid materials discharged to the ocean shall be classed as radioactive wastes if the total activity of any whole solid segment exceeds the total activity which would be contained by an equal volume of water having mpc values for drinking water for the occupational worker as
