BDCC Download Area

Default BDCC tables, based on an annual dose limit of 1 mrem/year, are available for download in Excel and PDF formats. The summary table includes the total BDCCs for select land use (resident and indoor worker) and media (dust, air, and 3-D external exposure) combinations. The composite tables include the individual route BDCCs and the total BDCCs for select default land use and media combinations. The composite tables also include a table of toxicity values.

The following table lists all available, downloadable land use and media combinations for the summary table or composite table and the default BDCC type. The Peak BDCC option was selected for dust and 3-D external exposure, as dust is not considered to be continually contaminated. For all air, it was assumed that the contamination is continuous, and the secular equilibrium BDCC option would be the most protective.
