liquid waste, the flow paths of liquids through the system including all bypasses, the treatment provided, and the points of release of liquid effluents to the environment. This information is used to calculate the quantity of radio- active materials released annually in liquid effluents during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, using the para- meters given, the GALE Code, and calculational techniqdes given in NUREG-0016 and NUREG-0017. The results of this calculation will be used to determine whether the proposed treatment system design meets the acceptance criterion of subsection II.1.c and in review of SRP Section 11.1. Compliance with the acceptance criteria given in subsection II.1.a concerning exposures to the total body or critical organ of an individual in an unrestricted area will be determined based on RAB dose calculations using the ETSB- calculated source term. Compliance with the acceptance criterion given in subsection II.1.b concerning the cost-benefit analysis will be determined based on RAB man-rem dose calculations in conjunction with ETSB cost-benefit studies. 11.2-4 Rev. 2 - July 1981 2. The ETSB review of the liquid waste treatment system design capacity will encompass three major areas: a. The system capability to process wastes in the event of a single major equipment item failure, e.g., an evaporator outage. b. The system capability to accept additional wastes during operations which result in excessive liquid waste generation. c. The system capability to process wastes at design basis fission product leakage levels, i.e., from 1% of the fuel producing power in a PWR or, in a BWR, consistent with a noble gas release of 100 pCi/sec/MWt measured after 30 minutes delay. ETSB will compare the average input flows to the design flows to determine the fraction of time individual subsystems must be online to process normal waste inputs. ETSB will review the operational flexibility designed into the system, i.e., cross
