An assessment of the relative significance of pathways for the migration and exposure of radionuclides from a low-level waste disposal facility to man is described in this document. Initiating events and circumstances associated with the undisturbed, naturally disturbed performance of low-level waste facilities are considered during the ranking procedure of potential migration and exposure pathways. 16 refs., 2 figs., 14 tabs.
