REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of effectiveness of radwaste systems and health physics in meeting effluent concentration limits in unrestricted areas and dose limits for members of the public. Secondary - Organization responsible for the review of radwaste system design features, system capacities, and performance in processing and treating offgas waste streams before being discharged to the environment. Organization responsible for the review of building ventilation system design features, system capacities, and performance in treating gaseous waste streams before being discharged to the environment. Organization responsible for the review of hydrogen and oxygen controls in preventing and monitoring concentrations of potential explosive gas mixtures in offgas systems. I. AREAS OF REVIEW For a review of an application for an early site permit (ESP), a construction permit (CP), standard design certification (DC), or a combined license (COL) that does not reference a DC, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviews the information in the applicant’s 11.3-2 Revision 4 – January 2016 Safety Analysis Report (Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) or Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)) as it relates to the gaseous waste management system (GWMS). For operating licenses (OL) or COLs that reference a DC, the staff confirms that the information accepted at the CP or standard DC stage is appropriately incorporated in the relevant sections of OL or COL applications, and that proposed departures are adequately justified and documented. This section of the staff’s Standard Review Plan (SRP) addresses the evaluation of plant systems used to manage and treat process and effluent streams before being released from pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). The staff’s evaluation assesses whether an applicant demonstrates compliance with regulatory limits on gaseous effluent discharges and
