(a) The material is
readily soluble in water or is readily dispersible biological material in
water.
(b) The quantity of all
radioactive material that the licensee releases into the sanitary sewerage in 1
month divided by the average monthly volume of water released into the sanitary
sewerage by the licensee does not exceed the concentration of radioactive
material listed in Table III of Appendix B.
(c) The total quantity of all radioactive
material that the licensee releases into the sanitary sewerage in 1 year does
not exceed 5 curies of hydrogen-3, 1 curie of carbon-14 and 1 curie of all
other radioactive materials combined.
(d) If more than one radionuclide is
released:
(1) The licensee determines the
fraction of the limits in Table III of Appendix B represented by discharges
into sanitary sewerage by dividing the actual monthly average concentration of
each radionuclide released by the licensee into the sanitary sewerage by the

and
(2) The sum of the fractions
for each radionuclide required by subparagraph (1) does not exceed
