3. If any of the conditions specified hereinafter are met, the corresponding values specified there
may be used in lieu of those specified in Paragraph 2 above.
a. If the identity of each radionuclide in the mixture is known but the concentration of one or
more of the radionuclides in the mixture is not known, the concentration limit for the mixture is
the limit specified in Appendix “A” for the radionuclide in the mixture having the lowest
concentration limit; or,
b. If the identity of each radionuclide in the mixture is not known, but it is known that certain
radionuclides specified in Appendix “A” are not present in the mixture, the concentration limit
for the mixture is the lowest concentration limit specified in Appendix “A” for any radionuclide
that is not known to be absent from the mixture; or
