The updated Hanford Site Composite Analysis (CA) will provide an all-pathways dose projection to a hypothetical future member of the public from all planned low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities and potential contributions from all other projected end-state sources of radioactive material left at the Hanford Site following site closure. Its primary purpose is to support the decision-making process of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under DOE O 435.1-1, Radioactive Waste Management, related to managing low-level waste disposal facilities at the Hanford Site. A key aspect of conducting a CA is selecting the radionuclides to be included in the quantitative analysis.
