Dilution in streams shall be based on the 7-day low flow for the previous 10-year period. Except if discharging to large waterways or sewerage systems that will not be overloaded by the discharge, the minimum requirement shall be an equalization tank of sufficient size to allow brine discharge over a 24-hour period. The radionuclide content of the wastewater shall comply with s. NR 811.856 .
