a.

The rror values for ali radionuclide listed except 90, and Pu are two-siama, propagated, counting errors
for a single sample. The error value for Osr and Pu is the two-sigma counting error for a single sample
plus an analytical error.

b.

Analyses performed by McClellan Central Laboratory, Sacramento, California
not significant; the net sample count is less than the two-sigma, propagated, counting error.
