[4] Medical testing is expected to yield either normal or abnormal results. "Normal" is usually a range. Subtle perturbations refers to medical research that produces a cluster of results at the high or low end of normal, at times including results just below or above the low and high normal cutoffs, for which there is no ready explanation.

[11] Risk is a measure of the chance an undesirable event or effect may actually happen. For example, a risk of 1x10-7 means there is one chance in 10,000,000 of the event happening. As applied to radiation risk, this means if 10,000,000 persons received a certain radiation dose, then we would expect one person may show the harmful effect. The estimated risk from low doses of radiation, where no harmful effects have actually been seen, is extrapolated from high radiation doses, where the effects have been seen. In making this extrapolation, it is assumed that the chance of injury from the low dose is proportional to the chance of injury from the high radiation dose.

[35] Time-weighted average concentrations are concentrations averaged over increments of time and adjusted to reflect the proportional length of time each concentration occurred. This technique allows averaging the air concentrations over a work day (8 hours) or week (40 hours) to allow for brief excursions over a limit.

[107] An elevated release assumes the fire's heat propels smoke and fumes to a certain height before they travel downwind. This scenario more realistically represents what actually happens. For this calculation, the elevated release assumed 25% of the total DU mass released by the fire was released at 10, 25, 50, and 100 meters above the ground.

[108] A ground-level release assumes no plume rises from the fire and usually produces higher air concentrations within the first kilometer.

The Baltimore VA measured urine uranium levels in their control population; the highest largest amount was 47 nanograms. The DU Medical Follow-up Program therefore set its arbitrary cutoff at 50 nanograms.

[611] An elevated release assumes that smoke and fumes rise to a certain height by the heat of the fire before traveling downwind. This scenario provides a more realistic representation of what actually happens. For this calculation, the elevated release assumed that 25 percent of the total DU mass released by the fire was released at 10 meters, 25 meters, 50 meters, and 100 meters above the ground.

[612] A ground-level release assumes there is no plume rise and usually produces higher air concentrations within the first kilometer. A ground-level release can represent an upper-bound estimate.
