An estimated 79,914 cm exp 3 of radioactive waste, containing 477,437 Ci of radioactivity were buried in the three US commercial burial grounds in 1979. By the best approximation available at the time of this report, the volume that could be attributed to the industrial category is 17,881 cm exp 3 and the volume that could be attributed to the institutional category is 14,954 cm exp 3 . No curie breakdown is possible from available sources of information. (ERA citation 08:033222) 收起
