The calculations of radon releases, dose conversions, and age and sex weighting factors need to be reevaluated so as to arrive at more-realistic risk estimates. The project has shown that the most-important combination of source and pathway for radiation exposure is through airborne radon released from the K-65 storage silos, rather than to uranium releases, as was previously believed.

In the final analysis, errors in the input data will add considerable variability to individual risk estimates derived for real, as opposed to hypothetical, people. This should be made clear in the RAC report.

The evaluation might include such issues as whether the desired information was obtained, whether it was presented in the best way (for example, in models at Hanford or exposure scenarios at the Fernald Feed Materials Production Center) , and whether public involvement was appropriate.
