Forty-nine millicuries (49 x 103 microcuries) of a long half-life radionuclide in soluble solution is to be discharged into the sanitary sewer system by a University. If the average University water usage is 10,000 gallons per hour and the MPC (maximum permissible concentration) for the radionuclide is 3 x 10-5 microcuries per ml. Is the MPC of the discharge exceeded when averaged over a single day? (one gallon = 3.8 x 103 ml)
