The error values for all radionuclide listed excent 90Sr and Pu are two-sigma, propagated, counting errors for
a single sample. The error value for 90Sr and Pu is the two-sigma counting error for a single sample plus an
analytical error.
Analyses performed by McClellan Central Laboratory, Sacramento, California.
not significant; the net sample count is less than the two-sigma, propagated, counting error
