1. A hazard index of 1.0 represents the toxicity of eight metric tons of natural uranium (including its radioactive "daughter" elements). That is the quantity needed to produce one metric ton of fuel for a reactor that operates on enriched uranium. Eight metric tons of natural uranium may represent as much as several thousand tons of uranium ore.
